The Bigsby® B5 model is a vintage-style tremolo which mounts to the top of a solidbody electric guitar. It is used in conjunction with a tunematic or similar bridge. Bigsby tailpieces have been used for decades by the world's top guitar brands. They can be mounted on a semi-acoustic guitar or on an electric guitar without having to rout any cavities as with standard tremolo units. The B5 can be fitted to most guitars with a stopbar tailpiece (including most Gibson® models) without modifying the guitar by using the Vibramate V5 kit (available separately) - B5 model vintage 'horseshoe' tremolo - Top mounted with string lowering bar for low bridges - Made in Korea - For flat solidbody guitars or arched top guitars using V5 adapter kit - Bridge not included - Include mounting screws, spring and tremolo arm - Polished aluminium & nickel plated steel - Includes fitting instructions

The B5 model replaces a standard tailpiece.

Mounting is straightforward. If mounting to a guitar with an existing stopbar tailpiece the Vibramate V5 kit can be used to fit the tailpiece using the existing bushes from the stopbar.

If fitting to any other model the unit is screwed directly into the top of the guitar.

Be extra careful to centre the tremolo so the strings go over the bridge straight.
