Filling stop tail piece holes

Or just cut the dowel slightly short and stick a circle of maple veneer on the top (making sure not to get glue on the surface or surrounding veneer).

As you are going the Bigsby route, have you given thought to getting a floating bridge with roller saddles to replace the kit bridge? Say something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00QA1VJ...&pd_rd_w=kT28H

An unpinned floating bridge is going to be very unstable when using a Bigsby. You could pin a standard floating bridge for more stability, but I'm sure that the use of the Bigsby is still likely to cause the pins to wear away at the wood over time.

Thanks Simon,

I think I'm going to do that.

Is there anything I should look out for when choosing the bridge?

EDIT: I just realised that the Bigsby is actually to big to use with this Guitar, as the Bridge would have to be positioned right next to it and that makes to big of an angle for the strings. Is there anything I could do about that? Otherwise i guess using at least a Bigsby V7 on this Kit will not work.
