Bridge Les Paul

Jacking my Les Paul Jr. What does this mean - "Bridge not included?"? [Bigsby B5]?

---

---

I just bought an Epi Les Paul Jr. off of Ebay. It hasn't even arrived yet, but I'm thinking about hacking a Bigsby to it. The B5 (horseshoe) looks like the cheaper decision as opposed to the B7 (triangular-shaped). Checkit: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290389885248

What does it mean "Bridge not included?" Do I need to get an after-market bridge for this hack, or can I just use the stock that comes with the E-LP-JR? From what I can tell by looking at YouTube videos of Bigsby hacks, it doesn't seem to require a bridge at all.

Thanks!!!

It means that it is just the Bigsby unit, but not the bridge.

The case is that these units is designed to be used on potentially a number of guitars where the bridge design can differ quite a bit.

And it may seem that you have potentially a problem, since the Jr. uses a wrap-around bridge (a stop tailpiece and bridge in one piece).

I am not at all sure if the size of the studs on the stop tailpiece/wrap around unit is the same as the height adjustment screws which you will need for a separate Gibson bridge.

If you take e look at the bottom picture at this page:
http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_Tune-o-matic_bridges/Nashville_Tune-o-matic_Bridges_and_Parts.html - you will see that the studs on the height adjustment screws is way different from the studs found on your stop tailpiece assembly.

I am sure there's a variety of types and sizes out there, so you will need to check this thoroughly. Try Stewart-MacDonald. Shoot them an e-mail and ask.

And yes, you will need a bridge. The strings pass under the front bar on the unit, and will then run over the guitar bridge - here's an example: http://home.comcast.net/~pedalboardjunction/Bigsbys.jpg

Epiphone LP-100 Les Paul Collection Electric Guitar, Heritage Cherryburst Reviews

This guitar is really great for beginners and is ideal for intermidiates pdlayers good for advanced players!
I tried to buy my second guitar for Guitar Center, and recommended for this type of rock, and for our budget. (It was on sale about 250)
its great!
the price is really nice. is actually a Epiphone Les Paul Y.
Les Paul has the form, scratch, everything. back of the neck is smooth. gison my friend has a Les Paul, and says he likes it because the neck is smooth, also said that Gibson was not as simple as that.
I had it for a while, and continues to do well.
It seems incredible. guitar is very reliable. As for the best price.
I recommend it for all guitarists. what you can.
OK, set neck (low-low price) and not Gibson (Who cares?), But awesome sound cheap, beautiful, high-quality musical instrument that looks like a real Les Paul. Certainly, after already hit big time, go buy a Gibson, but this seems like the hatchet and end sounds almost as good, which is fantastic! Bang for the buck can not be beat!
If you want a decent guitar, especially if you want, LP, and no money for a standard or +, it is for you.
Sounds good and looks decent. Fast Shipping.
The problem came with the broken string, had to replace it. Chains appear to be a little 'too low, because the buzz when plucked (string (s) sleeper hit (s)). Adjustable.
