  • Awesome but expensive
This is an excellent way to upgrade your Gibson SG, and bonus, help cure neck dive. SG guitars often suffer from neck dive, due to the body being as lite as it is. This adds some weight and mostly cures that issue. It also work well for tremolo, not to mention looks great. The only down side is the cost…ouch. ... show more

  • Awesome!
This thing is great! I put it on my Epiphone Les Paul 100 (with a vibramate) and it looks 100% better, fancier, sharper, vintager, awesomer. There is a little learning curve with restringing, but something that gets easier with time. THIS IS NOT FOR DIVE BOMBS. This is not a Floyd Rose type whammy. It is for great subtle whammys. Surprisingly it didn't affect tuning. Feels great, no structural problems. To top it off, this thing took 10 minutes to install. I would recommend this vibrato. No regrets with this purchase. ... show more

  • Killer mod to my Tele
Great deal on a Bigsby B-5. I used the Vibramate Stage 2 mounting plate to keep from having to drill holes in my guitar. Super easy install and plays/sounds great. Thanks.

  • The Real Deal
I replaced a cheap knock that had been installed on my 71 SG, It never worked right. This one comes back to zero every time. Smooth action and looks sharp. The directions and the install were straight forward. Buy it!

  • The real deal!
I bought a “licensed by” version and it was crap! This is the real deal and it’s awesome.
