Bigsby Vibratos and Vintage pickups for a 370 Jetglo

Post by Stephen_Hall »

Hey, I have been checking around for a few weeks now about putting a Bigsby B3(Instead of a B5 or Accent)on the 370 Jetglo that I just ordered. Does the B3 fit? Also, in the near future I would like to upgrade the Hi-Gain Pickups to the Vintage Single Coils or Scatter Wounds(For that Beatles/Fogerty/Hollies sound). Do you have any tips for me on these projects? Mike Parks and Bjorn Ericksson Have been helping me too, but I wanted to ask a luthier what he suggests. Thanks

If the B3 is longer than a B5, it likely won't fit on a 370. The ramp would likely be too short.
