FINALLY someone did it!!!! I've been saying to this for years - to do to a McCarty - but have been saying this for years!! This isn't mine, but I found it on The Gear Page. Would be awesome on a Mira - which really SHOULD have a Bigsby option or special run!
That is BA, but I do wonder about the functionality of using a bridge that wasn't designed to have a moving string passing over it?
I just hope the plating doesn't wear off, but yeah, I'll stop crapping on this guys sweet idea and install now!
Was interested to see the thread, didn't find it but found a couple more of them! Hmm, I don't have anything with a Bigsby...
Bryan Ewald, who does many demos for PRS, installed a Bigsby on one of his SE's several years ago. It looked really nice, but I'm not sure how well the stoptail bridge works when the strings are sliding across it. There is a lot of surface contact between the bridge on the strings on that design.
