I purchased a tremolo bar from http://www.rasdistributors.com/products ... es/tb-10-b, thinking I can easily install it on my telecaster. I am stumped, can't figure out how. Anyone have experience installing such a thing. Or maybe I should just leave it alone? :idea:

Thank you very much for this info. I assume this bridge plate takes up less space than the standard tele which is why it would work. I installed the tremolo behind the current bridge and some of the strings (high e and b) would not reach the tuning pegs....I guess I should ask another stupid question....the strings do get wrapped around the tremolo bar in the middle, correct? :roll: :roll:

Also, how do you avoid bending the strings too much so that they don't break...maybe this will be resolved by installing the correct bridge.... thanks again.

You bought the wrong Bigsby. See the Tele thread.
