Anyone put a Bigsby on a Hamer Artist or Sunburst?

I bend it constantly, and I'll continue, but I'm afraid to break away one of these days

for now I've found this solution, with 50 € used is sure the cheapest... (Duesenberg Les Trem 2)

when arrive I'll put a photo and tell you, thanks

Worked okay, but couldn't get used to the setup. The guy who runs Stets was super helpful in getting it to work properly. Apparently, there are a few different dimensions circulating, and I got it right on the second try. Great idea, but it wasn't worth the added weight and bulk, especially, if you're coming from Strat and PRS trems.

I wouldn't do it.

please don't

Hamer made a lot of very fine guitars with Bigsbys already attached, so just use it as an excuse to buy another guitar.

All of those other things are hideous.

I had thought about putting a LEFT-hand Bigsby on a Hamer Eclipse years ago,

I feel a little less concerned with my own insanity after reading this.

I liked the Stetsbar I had on my old Reverend Gil Parris. More pitch range than a Bigsby and much less of a pain to use. But if you get aggressive with up-pulls, the sliding plate and spring mechanism can collapse into itself with a violent snap, which is more than a little disconcerting. You can straighten it back out by hand, but I decided that 2-point Strat-style bridges are more my speed.

Well at the end this is the result with Duesenberg, not very nice, but the sound does not seems bad
