so it would be nice to install a vibrato unit on my 63 but i doubt a b5 will fit as it would be slightly too large
in saying that does anyone know of any top mount vibrato units that are slightly small with and without the bridge?

This? http://www.guitarfetish.com/Vintage-Sty ... p_839.html

Given the hollow construction of the Dan-O, you may have to get in there and somehow reinforce the top beneath the mounting location.

(I haven't used the GFS unit above, but I've read plenty reports that it's a perfectly fine unit. Not as nice a trem feel as a typical Bigsby, but perfectly fine functionality.)
