    Jimi Hendrix Flying V Left-Handed

    Requires modification
    Drilling

    A real modification, not a drop-in, new holes go in the guitar regardless of handedness. This is the correct genuine left-handed Bigsby though, not a right-handed part turned around. No no-drill adapter kit exists for this body shape. Best left to someone experienced or a tech.

    Why we say this

    This is the genuine left-handed Bigsby B7, correctly built rather than a reversed right-handed part. This guitar ships with a fixed stopbar, not a vibrato, so direct-mounting any Bigsby means new holes in the top regardless of handedness. No confirmed no-drill adapter kit was found for the Flying V's angular body shape, the Vibramate kits that exist are built for Les Paul and ES-335 body contours specifically, neither of which matches this shape.

    Drilling

    A genuine left-handed Bigsby, not a right-handed one flipped around. Mounting it this way means new holes drilled in the top of the guitar, so it is a real modification and best left to a tech. There is a no-drill left-handed route to the same vibrato if you would rather keep the guitar original.

    Why we say this

    This guitar ships with a fixed stop bar, not a vibrato, so direct-mounting a Bigsby means drilling new screw holes in the carved top. That is a permanent change to the body, which is why this is a modification rather than a drop-in. The part itself is correct: a Bigsby retrofit is a genuinely handed unit, built on different tooling from the right-handed version rather than mirrored hardware, and this is the real left-handed one.

    Why we say this

    This is the genuine left-handed Bigsby B7, correctly built rather than a reversed right-handed part. This guitar ships with a fixed stopbar, not a vibrato, so direct-mounting any Bigsby means new holes in the top regardless of handedness. No confirmed no-drill adapter kit was found for the SG's flat body shape.
