Not a drop-in item
Expect to spend some time getting this just right on your guitar. I needed to purchase grooved/slotted Gotoh saddles (compensated) that needed further notching with a nut file to prevent the strings from sliding out of place. I also purchased Big Bends Nut Sauce to help with the tuning stability. After several days things seem to be settling in. I can wiggle chords and bend without major slippage (The G string is the most unstable). If you are considering a Bigsby I am going to assume that you are aware that it is not cut out for divebombs and major scooping. For the subtle effect that is a Bigsby this is the only choice that doesn't require drilling holes in you instrument. The initial installation of the product was fairly simple (READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS) and eve rything arrive d as advertised, but for those that claim that they installed it in 10 minutes and it was sheer perfection out of the gate, I question their ears. Having said all of that, I am satisfied with the playability and it looks gorgeous on my 90s Japanese Tele. Read full review

Zero regrets
Didn't need the short tail Vibramate on my small pick guard 50thSG24, but no harm in the extra clearance. Best price for both that I've seen, and the no-drill adapter makes it a totally reversible mod. Bigsby install was faster and easier than the new set of strings. I think the tone actually sounds better than with just the hard tail stop block. Longer sustain and more depth in the mids. Less twangy, trebly tone through the '57 classic pups. Added bonuses are the almost total elimination of the infamous SG neck dive, and everything fits in the Gibson hard-shell case.

Do some research before purchasing.
I really like the quality and performance of the Vibramate, but I wish that Bigsby would provide more instructions on the installation of the product. I made the installation of the unit myself having to drill the perforations for the screws, but that was not the big hurl. The problem is that for a Telecaster installation the strings will not line up with the string saddles and I had to purchase two sets of saddles and had to create groves on the saddles with a metal saw because the strings would keep jumping out of place. I could not find any kind of literature about it on the manufac turers web-page and all I could find was a couple of blogs where people that had had the same problem were asking for advise with no avail by the way because no-one in the blogs had faced that issue before.

Very Efficient and economicaL
The Bigsby B5 with Vibramate kit for stop tailpiece Gibson type guitars is super. It easily install on SAEor Metric threaded anchors in just a few minutes with no drilling or modification. Works super. Installs in less time than it takes to change a set of strings. I like it!!!

Nice idea, but...
It a great idea, but the vibramate puts the Bigsby too close to the bridge, to be really useful. Also, Bigsby really should come with different height springs. The one that came with it puts the Bigsby too high.

Love it!
Easy installation with the Vibramate on my SG. Sounds great and stays in tune pretty well. At least as good or better than I expected. Looks great too if you’re into that.
