Wraparound replacement

[orllybrahhehbrah]

I got this third eye guitar real cheap a few weeks back and i've really taken a liking to it.

Gonna swap out the pickup for a P90 sized humbucker and get a perspex/sheet metal pickguard put together but I'm unsure about the bridge.

I really want to put some sort of bigsby style trem on this but I don't think I can. I've never had a wraparound before so uh....help?

Can a trem be put on this!? http://imgur.com/a/tWTxD

You've already got some posts in, so it should be easy enough to get a Bigsby on it. There will be a few extras needed mind, as you won't be able to keep the wraparound on it (I don't think).

So assuming you want to put one of these on it: http://www.bigsby.com/vibe/products/vibratos/bigsby-b5/

You'll need one of these: http://www.vibramate.com/vibramate-v5-install.php

Aaaaand of course you'll need a tune-o-matic (or similar) bridge/saddles on it (like in the above link).



Hope that helps!

Yeah, i figured a tuneomatic could go where the posts already are.

I guess i'm going to be drilling more holes than i thought haha ..and cutting the pickguard to a fitting shape. This should be fun

Ok....i think i have everything sorted now.

This trem: http://www.guitarfetish.com/Xtrem-Top-M ... _4416.html looks like it will fit better with the pickguard cut i hat in mind because it's more of a square. Got a roller tuneomatic coming that should fit too.

Gonna get some cool knobs. Nickel covered P90. So excited now...will update when it's all done.

Ah yeah, I hadn't noticed the pickguard bulking out down there a bit.

Still, I reckon it should look su-weeeeet when it's finally done! Best of luck with it
