Vibramate no-drill adapter for Bigsby B7 (Flying V mount)
2 guitars checked: 1 likely drop-in, 1 not compatible.
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, unlike the Epiphone Flying V, which uses a string-through plate instead.
Epiphone
Despite being marketed for Flying V guitars, this kit is built for a Flying V with a stopbar tailpiece. This guitar has a different, fixed string-through plate instead, so this specific kit does not fit. See this guitar's other tailpiece option instead.
The manufacturer specifies this kit for Flying V guitars with a stop tailpiece and Tune-O-Matic bridge, mounting via the stopbar's stud bushings. This guitar ships with a fixed V-shaped string-through plate instead of a stopbar, so there is nothing for the kit's mounting bracket to attach to as designed. Despite being sold under the Flying V name, this is a real mismatch for this specific hardware variant, worth flagging since the product name alone suggests a universal fit that does not hold here.
What fits instead
Nothing is flagged as an open question here right now. If you have fitted something to this V7-VW Flying V Adapter Kit for Bigsby B7 that we haven't covered, send it in.
