Bigsby
Bigsby's classic vibrato tailpiece, a direct-mount replacement for a guitar's stock tailpiece, giving a warm, subtle wobble rather than a dive-bomb trem.
4 guitars checked: 3 requires modification, 1 not compatible.
For your Epiphone Flying V
Requires modificationA 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.

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.

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.

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. A genuine left-handed Bigsby is listed separately for this guitar, use that one instead.
This is the standard right-handed Bigsby B7. A genuine left-handed Bigsby, built on different tooling rather than mirrored hardware, is catalogued separately for this guitar.
