VibramateShort-Tail V5 Mounting Kit
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
V5 Short-Tail is a no-permanent-drilling mount for a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato. Its short-tail format is aimed at tighter locations, including SG Classic-style guitars with larger pickguards. For most traditional-style guitars with a Tune-A-Matic-style bridge and stop-tailpiece, included hardware supports installation in minutes. Three felt pads beneath the mounting plate provide soft contact with the guitar top, while the plate positions the vibrato in its intended orientation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- SG Classic-style guitars with larger pickguards where mounting space is tight.

Consider the trade-offs
