I'm a long time reader but a first time poster to this excellent forum.
Anyway I'm ready to pull the trigger on a 350v63 and I have a few questions.
1. Has anyone actually fitted a Bigsby to one of these?
2.I'm torn between Mapleglo and Jetglo, I really like the blonde Hamburg guitar and I'd like to try and get close to those specs.Is it possible or should I stick with a black 63' spec guitar? 350 owners please give me your thoughts.
3.Has anyone got an accent vibrato to stay in tune.I have one which I may fit if it'll work.(I couldn't live without a Bigsby on my Gretsch)
That's enough for a kick off, I'd appreciate your responses.

Richard, I am a proud owner of a 350v63. I chose the Jetglo. That vision of Lennon on the Ed Sullivan show is in-grained in my brain forever.
Besides that, it plays and sounds great. I have owned some guitars with the vibrato's and there are pro's and cons. My 57 Gretsch with the Bigsby is no trouble at all. It all depends what you are planning to play on that RIC. I use mine for rythmn. I don't need a tremelo arm on it. I like the guitar the way it is. Where are you going to purchase it from? Thanks, Steve
