Cracked Bigsby B6G

Post by 320capt »

Paul,

I have a Gretsch Country Gent - 1962 with a cracked through Bigsby mounting plate near the hinge point. It is now only attached to the mounting plate at the other hinge point.

Is my only option to do a complete Bigsby replacement? I am not finding any place on line that sells just the mounting plate that screws into the heel of the guitar. Even if I can find one, can the hinge pin be taken out to install it to a new mounting plate?

Thanks, Rick
