Install a Bigsby Without Drilling

So you want to put a Bigsby on your axe, but don't want to drill holes in it? That's understandable, and Sweetwater has exactly what you need. Vibramate's V5-ST Quick Mount Kit lets you mount an original Bigsby B5 vibrato on solidbody electric guitars with tighter location requirements. It installs in minutes, and best of all, it doesn't require defacing your instrument. The Vibramate kit includes three felt pads on the bottom of the mounting plate that protect the top of your guitar. Vibramate automatically positions the B5 in correct orientation, for a clean, original-equipment appearance. Have an import guitar with metric-threaded hardware? No worries — the Vibramate V5 kit includes both English- and metric-threaded mounting hardware.

Vibramate V5-ST Features:

  • Mount an original Bigsby B5 vibrato on your guitar without drilling holes
  • Designed for solidbody electrics with tight location requirements
  • May also work on select carved and archtop models

Reviews

Genius solution!
I've always wanted to see what it's like to use a Bigsby on my SG, but I didn't want to "commit" to installing one. I saw a post on Reddit, and someone mentioned that they installed their Bigsby using a mount system called "Vibramate". I did some research, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the Vibramate mounting system lets you install a Bigsby on your guitar without drilling permanent holes. I bought this right away, and I don't regret it at all. Installation was incredibly easy, and my guitar is so much more fun to play now. I don't see myself taking the Bigsby off of my guitar anytime soon, but if I ever decide to sell my guitar, then I can easily take the Bigsby off and install it on my new guitar.

Easy Install
Thanks to the adapter for the Bigsby B5, I was able to get it installed on my Gibson without drilling into the wood!Vibramate is clearly the go to for easy install!
