Vibramate no-drill adapter for Bigsby B7 (Flying V mount)

This guitar has exactly the stopbar-and-TOM setup this no-drill kit is built for. Worth knowing that some other Flying V variants use a string-through plate instead, which this kit does not fit.
The manufacturer specifies this kit for Flying V guitars with a stop tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, exactly this guitar's confirmed hardware. Flying Vs with a V-shaped string-through plate, such as Epiphone's 1958-style Flying V, are a different setup that this kit does not fit.
Built for Flying V guitars with a stop bar tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, which is exactly what this guitar has, and it mounts using the existing stop bar studs with no drilling. This newer Epiphone model has not been confirmed with the kit yet though, so check the stud spacing and fit before ordering.
Vibramate specifies the V7-VW for Flying V guitars with a stop tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, mounting through the stop bar stud bushings rather than new holes. This guitar has a LockTone stop bar and Tune-O-Matic, so the mounting method matches. It is a new Epiphone model (2026) and there is no confirmed install report yet, and import Epiphones use metric stud threads, so the stud fit and the Bigsby position on this body are worth confirming before buying.
