Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Maybe this guitar need a Bigsby? What fits on a 330? A B-5? What kind of bridge would it need?

So Mitch, did you buy it?

You can use a B5 or B50 screw-on with either the stock bridge or a "dogbone" unit. You could also try a B3 or B30 trapeze.

The rest of the Bigsby trapeze units are marginally too long.

Thanks for all the info Paul! Did Rickenbacker ever make another guitar with a Bigsby installed besides the 325v59?

There are a few other older Ricks whose owners claim the vibratos were factory-installed. I personally haven't seen anything to back these claims.

Haha,ok,will do.UPS says it is "out for delivery"so I will post a picture when I get it.

I used to have an Epiphone Les Paul copy that was finished in red sparkle, very similar to this. Very nice score, Mitch. A very out-there finish, you sure know how to score some cool ones!
