Which Bigsby bridge for a Les Paul?

[irish R8]

So I'm toying with the idea of fitting a bigsby to my les paul standard Goldtop. I was just browsing the bigsby website.

the kalamazoo range has many different model tailpieces. Any idea which ones are suitable for a les paul retrofit?

Just from looking at them I'm thinking the B7. ??

Think - sergio Vallin signature model - esq..

Thoughts...

I think that's the right one for an LP. Check out the Vibramate too - i don't have any direct experience with it but it gives you a "no-drill" option for the install

I prefer the B3 and Towner bar, but a B7 will do the job just fine, just ask Neil.

B7 with Vibramate Spoiler… for life!

I put a B7, USA made in the white box not Korea in the red box, on my R7 with a Vibramate and a spoiler. It fit perfectly and looked great. I have a photo somewhere I'll put up when I get to that computer.

I had it on for a while but I just didn't like the weight it added. I removed it, no holes, no problem. They only other thing I would have done when I was installing it would be to have the rocker bridge like Elliot Easton put on his Tikibird to handle the string movement due to the arm pulling.

Edit:
Here is the photo of my R7 with the B7 (I didn't have the spoiler on for this photo)

Vibramate spoiler is a great invention, non intrusive solution for restring the guitar with Bigsby.
