Anyone selling a Bigsby B7 + Vibramate?

 Got a mad urge to feck about with my LP, but not irrevocably...

***edit - forgot about Duesy Les Trems - might make a more economical gateway drug to see if I *really* want a wang bar on my Lester...***

***UPDATE - SORTED VIA FACEBOOK***

    Since you've already said 'I think' :), a minor word of warning - the Vibramate is a great idea, BUT...

    1 - on a nitro-finished guitar it may well leave marks, even though no holes are drilled - the pressure of the felt pads on the finish can leave matt areas, which may or may not be possible to polish out.

    2 - it mounts slightly higher off the body than a normal screwed-down Bigsby which can look a little odd, but it reduces the break angle under the tension bar and helps stop tuning issues.

    3 - it also mounts about 1/8" further back than a normal screwed Bigsby fitting, which also looks even more surprisingly odd, but more importantly can make it difficult to get the guitar into the case.

    Just my experience fitting - and removing - two or three of them.

    Wiz’d as ever @ICBM ;

    Am actually leaning the Les Trem way I think, at least for now as it’s less obtrusive, and a cheaper way to explore my wang fantasies...

    although they look like bike parts compared to the sturdy industrialness of a good, hard Bigsby.

    Arse. Get a new one (that could be in nickel rather than chrome, if that's your preference) for £77 delivered.

    Thanks mate - think I may just have found a used one on Facebook.  Anxiously waiting for the vendor to respond to my blandishments...
