    The easy way or the hard way.

    These are the two options open to you.

    Me, I choose the easy way. The photo says it all.



    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Seems to be a ton easier if you upgrade a Les Paul with a B70!

    Hi Dingobass, I wish I had seen this yesterday........

    incidentally, my trem arm was disassembled, can you advise the correct sequence for the steel and fabric washers and the nut on the trem arm please.

    Hey Pedro, the photo shows the sequence.

    From memory there is another fibre washer, which I think I may have misplaced.... If you have a spare it goes under the spring on the main body frame.

    Also I don't have the circlip, hence the reason it fell apart, easily fixed. Cheers.

    Sorry to dig up this old thread... but I'm curious as to where you found that trem? I'm looking for one, not necessarily a bigsby... but perhaps a knock off version that would suit a left handed build. Any ideas where I might look?
    Just call me Dan.

    My guitars: Epiphone SG, Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro, Ibanez PF15-ECE all fed through a Laney LX65R with a Mooer GE100 multi effects pedal. Check out my music if you're interested, and my other hobby turned business here!
