Brothers, does changing from a "harp" tailpiece to a Guild Bigsby require drilling different holes in the bottom of the guitar body ?
In pics, the mounting looks the same, but yet it seems you usually can't do a change like that without some kind of collateral damage.
I was thinking how cool it would be to have a Bigsby on my green '66 T100, but I have major reservations about modding vintage stuff, especially when it has made it this far with no changes.
Needless to say, the best option would be for me to keep it as is plus find and score the right SF III with DeArmonds in black or green, but they are getting hard to find and afford. When I first got this T100, I was considering changing it to DeArmonds, but the mickey mouse pickups have grown on me. This guitar sounds a lot like a good Rickenbacker, and plays better when it comes to jazz chords.
