Does anyone have experience mounting a Bigsby or Duesenberg Les Trem on their McCarty 594 Hollowbody II? I have both of these trems on a Gibson SG and Les Paul and wondering if the bolt holes will match up on the PRS as well.

Cheers!
 
I can't imagine that there's any way that mounting those won't require permanent alterations on your PRS, and considering that yours is a fairly costly, high end model, I personally wouldn't do that as it would adversely effect the resale value.

If you really needed something else with a trem, maybe consider selling or trading it for a model equipped that way.
 
Looked around briefly and couldn’t find it, but I’ve read about how a certain infamous Las Vegas luthier has chopped off the top of a HBII and added a block behind the bridge for a tremolo before. That probably falls under the rule of, “if you have to ask” pricing though.
