Why we say this
This guitar ships with a fixed LockTone Stop Bar, not a vibrato. Direct-mounting a Bigsby means new holes in the top.
Bigsby
Bigsby's classic vibrato tailpiece, direct-mounted to the guitar's top for a warm, subtle wobble rather than a dive-bomb trem.

Gibson
This is the right-handed version. A genuine left-handed Bigsby B7 is listed separately for this guitar, use that one instead.
This is the standard right-handed Bigsby B7. Bigsby's own spec confirms the left-handed version is built on different tooling (sand cast rather than die cast), not a mirrored part, so a right-handed unit is not the correct product here, a genuine left-handed B7 is listed separately for this guitar.
