Bigbsy question.

lexx9 · August 20th, 2006, 02:12 PM

I recently got a Tele partscaster with a pine body back from a friend that built it for me. It has the bigger modern style toploading bridge with elite style saddles. Can I use this bridge with a Bigbsy? If not will a bigbsy adapter plate fit the routing from the bigger bridge? Thanks lexx9

I'm not familiar with your terminology. Can you post a pic?

I don't have a clue how to post pics but I can email you some or I can try to explain myself better. What do you need to see? Lmk lexx9

I'd need to see your bridge and saddle arrangement. I can post a pic for you if you send it to me. I'm assuming you mean the six saddle bridge, but I'm not familiar with "elite". A pic is worth 1000 words.

Sight unseen, I'd guess you can't use the stock bridge.
I'd get a cheap ashtray bridge & cut slots in it for the
strings to pass through ala Tele 295's Bigsby mod.
