Bigsby

Post by armyric »

This might be a real stupid question but I'm new in guitar mods/repairs.
I'm thinking about putting a Bigsby (B-5) on my RIC 610. Can I keep the Ric Bridge or should I get a new one? I really don't like the bow tie bridge because you can't adjust it.

Thanks

You can use the 6 way adjustable stock bridge or replace it with a roller bridge. I'd keep the stock one, they work just fine.

You can keep the RIC bridge with the Bigsby.
