A proven upgrade for this guitar, but it means drilling into the top and can't be undone.
Well-documented common mod for the Casino specifically (multiple confirmed firsthand installs). Replaces the trapeze tailpiece entirely and requires drilling into the guitar top, irreversible. A no-drill Vibramate-style adapter is not an option here, this guitar's trapeze has no stud bushings to mount one to.

A proven upgrade for this guitar, but it means drilling into the top and can't be undone.
Well-documented common mod for the Casino specifically. Replaces the trapeze tailpiece entirely and requires drilling into the guitar top, irreversible. A no-drill Vibramate-style adapter is not an option here, this guitar's trapeze has no stud bushings to mount one to. Unaffected by the 2023 bridge revision.

A real modification, not a drop-in, new holes go in the guitar. This guitar's stock tailpiece is not the kind an adapter kit can grab onto, so direct mounting is the only realistic path here.
This guitar ships with a fixed V-shaped string-through plate, not a stud-mounted stopbar, so there are no existing bushings for an adapter to grab onto. Direct-mounting a Bigsby B7 here means new mounting holes in the top, irreversible. This is the only realistic path for this specific guitar, the no-drill adapter kit sold under the Flying V name is actually built for a different tailpiece style, see the other tailpiece option for this guitar.

This is the right-handed Bigsby. Bigsby make a genuine left-handed version, and that's the one to use on this guitar.
This is the standard right-handed Bigsby B7. Bigsby build a genuine left-handed B7 on separate tooling rather than mirroring the right-handed part, and that is the version this guitar needs.
