I've been jonesing for a Starfire semi-hollowbody and have been zeroing in on various eras of Starfire IVs. Wondering how easy it would be to swap out a harp tailpiece for a Bigsby or Guildsby. I'm guessing after-market availability leans more to the likelihood of it being a Bigsby. (B7 most likely?) Any new holes or plugging required? I know, for instance, it's a direct, easily reversible swap on a Rickenbacker 360 to go from the R-tailpiece to their Accent vibrato.
Or would transitioning from a stopbar tailpiece be just as likely? Perhaps the Vibramate plate for a Gibson stopbar conversion would align just as well. I haven't been close enough to one in the wild to take measurements. Any thoughts or experiences? TIA!
