I was there at least 1.5 hrs played all the guitars they would let me and I'll be damned if not one sounded as good.. not even close.. to the last two builds I've done .. when I got home and played my home builds it was like going to heaven.. I won't evean compair any of that shite to my Heritage collection.. I played all their taylor accoustics and not one sounded as good as my heritage archtop un-plugged ..

DEATH TO BUY MORE...

Yes, that Heritage is a beauty!!!  :headbang: :hello2: :headbang:
How about a front shot of that V.  Looks interesting; I'd like to see the flipside if you have a shot.
:kewlpics: :rock-on:

here ya go.

Thanks Big Bob!  :hello2:

It is interesting how they increased the length of the V body so they would have room for the tremolo mount.  I am having the same challenge trying to do a Bigsby mount on a Warmoth V.  Only have about 1/4 inch of body remaining to screw the Bigby onto the body.  Not feeling comfortable about that, so I am trying to figure out an alternate mounting. 
Thanks again for your time and the pic!  ccasion14:

Wow, she turned out pretty good considering everything you went through.  It's a cool little V  :toothy12: :toothy12: :toothy12:

Hey FirebirdFloyd,

Yes, I have seen the Lonnie Mack V.  Lonnie and his V are a legend in their field :headbang:

I just cannot bring myself to stick on one of those big ugly brackets to hold my Bigsby.  The body is already built and if you take a peak, you will see what I mean.  Valentina is at:

I think what I will end up doing is doing a mod on a Vibramate mounting bracket.  The Vibramate is made for only the B-5 Bigsby.  I however, have the B-500 because it is the only model that comes in black.  The Bigsby website claims that it would fit on a V, but the Warmoth V is just about 1/2 inch too short at the center. 

Anyway, thanks for the thought and you folks have a smooth holiday! ccasion14:

 

[big bob]

the b5 is shorter than the b500 no point on the end , also you can move the whole bigsby unit closer to the bridge w/o loosing any tone or function
