As much as I love Bigsby's (I have one on my Goldtop) I'll probably hold off for now. Any feedback on what kind of vibrato to go with would be appreciated - I'm not concerned about things like resale value or irreversible damage to the guitar (this level of modification is something I can handle myself) but I'm more worried about the actual physical matchup between a B5 and a 320 body. Are bog standard B5's what was used on the v59, and would one fit here? Or would some change-up be in order?

I'd also consider an Accent if anyone thinks it's a good idea!
I don't know how the Accent works with a 3/4 scale 320 Rick, but they work great with my 381 and 360 WBs. :)

Congrats on the guitar; watching your video. Cool stuff. You are a a witty guy and tasteful player!
There is no reason to ever be bored.

...why yes, I suppose I do have a double bound guitar fetish...

I had an accent on my 320 for a while. It worked fine. Looked good, too.
All I wanna do is rock!
