Can you mount a Bigsby if it is drilled for a TOM/STP?

 

[rockskate4x]

you can, but there'll be extra holes in the body... I'd recommend starting from the custom order form...

Actually there's a thing you can buy that lets you mount a Bigsby B5 on the stopbar studs.

I go out for some minutes of Carnival and you guys put me out of the choices... :sad:

Bad guys

 

[hannaugh]

Wow, good price on that too!

 

[tfarny]

Schwingg! It's like they anticipated the result of the raffle threads and made sure this was coming down the pipe. We could afford that, a ridiculous neck, and maybe have enough left over for one pup or some hardware.

 

[hannaugh]

That rosewood top is nicer looking than the ones in the unique choice area too.  I'd go for it. 

 

[GoDrex]

better get Ocguy on the phone quick! hehehe :laughing7:

 

[rockskate4x]

yeah, if it'll work with the bigsby, then you should go for it!

http://www.vibramate.com/vibramate-v5.html, costs about $60.

And you can switch between bigsby and stopbar any time while keeping the guitar totally stock!  :guitaristgif:

Too bad the showcase body only has one f-hole...It's still pretty sweet though and that's a minor issue.

 

[rounce55]

Get it it's beautiful!

 

[rockskate4x]

perfect!!! (I'm so excited)

I thought you couldnt rerout for p-90s once a HB route had been done.  At least its not an option on the site configurator.

I did some thinking and one f-hole would do it, its not a true hollowbody after all. 

I've also been thinking about controls.  Id probably go with 2v/2t and a side jack, but I have a few options on where the pickup selector is going to go.  LP location, SG location, or upper horn.

Sorry Fernando  :sad:

The polls were more mostly overwhelmingly in favor of one thing or another, except for laminate top.  That was a close race between IRW and Padouk. 

What would you like to see in this L5S?

That is correct. You can buy humbucker-sized p-90's, though (to varying degrees of success, of course).

 

[Tempest]

You should probably go with a custom order for the P90's. 

But if you decide to get the showcase body I've heard that Fralin's P92 is a pretty good humbucker size P90.
