I was leaning towards a gold B7, but Travis Stever has a beautiful LP Standard with a B5 that is making me reconsider

I still think B7 is the way to go for a more classy look

Here's my Wildkat with whom I was recently reunited in an epic 4-hour jam. Man, I missed her!

(Need to get some new pics...)

Dude, P94s just look amazing on LP BB's. Especially the matching colours.

In '07, from Musicians Friend.

I dont order from online because of my bad luck something will happen so i order from walk in stores like GC and Cream City Music.

Love my Riviera P93.

Ive had my Riviera as a main guitar for a little more then a month and the sound of her is enough to made me decide to retire my Epi LP from main guitar to backup. I still think it was a good idea.

chrisobrien · 07-17-2011, 08:28 PM

Question for all of you Bigsby equipped LPer's. Are locking tuners and a roller bridge absolutely necessary? Are they needed at all? I was budgeting on installing both when I slap a Bigsby on my LP, but this thread makes me wonder if it's worth it.

I don't have either on any of my three. As the installation instructions say, graphite is your friend (nut and saddles). As they don't say, so is 3in1 oil (Bigsby itself).

purevilpleasure · 07-17-2011, 08:39 PM

I have neither and stays it tune fine. Nut lube is a good thing.

I dont have any of those and my LP stays in tune just fine.

I have a roller bridge because it was inexpensive in a package deal from STEWMAC with the bigsby. I don't know how it would play with the regular TOM, but I will say that the roller bridge doesn't hurt tuning.

The Higher Craft · 07-19-2011, 06:28 AM

and here's mine - stays in tune OK as long as you don't imagine it has a Floyd fitted

I thought my Epi Special II with a B3 was used alot. But nice cherry burst.

Just picked up my Wildkat last week.
Absolutely love it.

Malikon · 11-08-2011, 02:45 AM

Nice Wildkat!!

I played a Gretsch today after work that had a Bigsby, (first time playing a Bigsby.)

Gotta admit it gave me gas and I came home and put a Wildkat on my guitar list. I like the idea of a semi-hollow that's smaller then the norm. Very Rock n Roll!
