Bigsby leaves holes that show on Les Paul?

[Boogieman]

When a Bigsby B-7 is mounted on a Les Paul, 335 (B-5 on an SG) and the Stop Tailpiece is removed do the holes for the Stop Tailpiece Studs show and what can be done about it?

Thanks in advance,
Al

Yes, of course these holes will show. You may have noticed a few older 335 style Gibsons with a black plastic "Custom" plate that was used to cover the stop tail holes. Some plastic hole plugs will work here and not look too bad either. Also, you will need to run an alternate ground wire to the B7 for string grounding purposes.

Where could these plastic hole plugs be obtained?

Check out the www.stetsbar.com it the best trem for a Gibson or Tele. No modification to your ax @ all! And, it stays in tune better than about anything else. It's a killer trem! :dude

Any decent hardware store will have these. Just ask for plastic hole plugs.
