OK, this is an involved procedure, requiring the abilities of a skilled tech where the procedure cannot be simply explained.

+1.

Like the idea of Bigsbys: never really found the reality satisfactory.

But if I was going to fit one I wouldn't dream of doing it without this roller bridge, such as Taylor are now using with their Bigsby'd guitars:

And you can also buy it as a set with a Bigsby!

Whether that is the model Bigsby you want is another question. Several designs are available: be sure to get the right one.

Good luck - C
