## Description

The B5, sometimes referred as the Bigsby "horseshoe" is designed for flat top solid body guitars. Attaching via four screws to a guitar's top, the B5 is extremely versatile. B5s are common on many styles of guitars including SGs, Les Paul Jrs, Telecasters, and Rickenbacker 325s.Bigsby B5 Specifications Model Name: B-5 Series: Original Kalamazoo Line Manufacturing Method: Cast Manufacturing Material: Aluminum Approximate Weight: 287 Grams Overall Length: 4.75"/120.65mm Overall Width: 3.7"/93.98mm

Review: I put this on my 2017 Gibson SG Alpine White Standard T (along with Vibramate b5 mounting plate). Very easy to install. The guitar is now heavier, has improved tone and sustain, and is more aethetically pleasing (slick). The action was unchanged. The SG already had locking machine heads and seems to be staying in tune ok.
Review: Looks great on my Squier Jazzmaster Deluxe with vibramate...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a Yamaha revstar 502?**
A: It appears to me that it would work fine.   I strongly recommend using a Vibramate kit to simplify the installation.   Good luck!

**Q: Will this fit on a prs se singlecut?**
A: This unit is designed for flat to guitars. The beveled edges of a PRS SE will create problems when installing this unit. A B7 is a more likely candidate for your guitar.

**Q: Will this work on an Epiphone Les Paul Special II?**
A: Yes, this item should work with an Epiphone Les paul Special II . There will be drilling required if a Vibramate is not going to be used.

**Q: Can this be used on a squire mini Stratocaster?**
A: Not totally familiar with that guitar but when input it on my Tele Baja, it looked like it would have fit on a smaller body guitar.   No havebsince sold the Tele but wish I had it back now😳

Easy to install with vibramate. Just need a power drill for those big screws. Glad it came with the black tip.
