    Installation notes

    Direct-mounting a Bigsby means new holes in the guitar's top, appropriate for guitars that ship with a fixed stop-bar or trapeze tailpiece rather than an existing vibrato.

No confirmed no-drill adapter kit was found for the SG's flat body shape specifically, unlike the Les Paul and ES-335 body styles, which have their own dedicated Vibramate kits, so this is the only real option currently listed for this guitar.

    Not compatible

    This is the right-handed version. A genuine left-handed Bigsby B7 is listed separately for this guitar, use that one instead.

    Why we say this

    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.
