Back in the 60s I believe you could buy Teles with Factory installed Bigsbys at least Pete Townshend used them.I remember the Filmore East auctioned off one that he had left there after banging up at a concert,the neck and body were still very much intact,it went for $300.I know that's no help but I thought you may like a Tele Bigsby story.It sounds like it's going to be a great mod.Wouldn't you have to route out the body to allow for the middle pup?I'm not familiar with Tele insides as I've never been inside my MIM Tele.I imagine you intend putting in a 5 way pup switch,anyhow good luck with it,keep us posted.Also welcome to the forum, guys like Martian,Nikininja and Ceri could be of great help with your project.
