Fitting Bigsby Trem to an LP

[dern]

Has anyone fitted a Bigsby Trem to a Les Paul? Ideally using a Vibramate but any experience would be welcome.

Did you find that the guitar was compromised afterwards and what was tuning stability like afterwards?

The guitar is a 2012 studio by the way.

Thanks,

I've got one on an Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty.

Used a Bigsby B7 in gold and the Vibramate. It was done by a local guitar tech. Pretty straightforward from recollection and no tuning issues.

I fitted a roller bridge at the same time, no major tuning stability issues, as long as you don't treat it like a Floyd Rose...

That's great information. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

When I had a Bigsby fitted to an Epiphone Casino, I got the tech to fit a roller bridge. Can't remember who made it though - might have been Schaller, but I wouldn't swear to it, was a few years ago now.
