For Tune-o-matic style guitars with stop tailpiece bushings

Dig classic vibrato effects but don't want to permanently modify your Tune-o-matic style guitar? Now you can install a traditional Bigsby vibrato using your guitar's stop tailpiece bushings—without drilling new holes in your instrument! The Vibramate adapter kit has all the hardware you need for easy, secure installation with just a screwdriver, including felt pads to protect the guitar's finish. High grade aluminum matches the traditional Bigsby, for stability and great tone. Vibrato not included.

SAVE when you order your Bigsby with a Vibramate!

Vibrato not included. The Vibramate adapter will not fit the Bigsby B50 licensed imported vibrato.

The Vibramate V5 adapter kit works with U.S. or metric stop tailpiece bushings that have standard 3-1/4" (82.55mm) non-staggered spacing. It fits most solidbody and thin archtop guitars that have a Tune-o-matic style bridge.

NOTE: Although the Vibramate V5 adapter can be used to install a Bigsby B5 vibrato on a carved-top Les Paul or a thin-archtop ES-335 style guitar, the back of the unit may appear slightly raised (for Les Pauls, see the Bigsby B7 Vibrato with Vibramate V7-LP Adapter instead). The B5/V5 combination won't fit a classic large-pickguard Gibson SG, or a Flying V.

Great Product

The Vibramate was the only option for me to install a Bigsby on my Gibson SG Faded with my limited experience working on guitars.

This product made adding a Bigsby no harder than changing a set of strings. All the provided hardware was great and everything fit with the B5. It is truly as simple as six screws and you are ready to rock.

I would only recommend this product for flat top guitars like the SG or flat top Les Paul. I think you would be asking for trouble to try this with any carve top guitar.
