VibramateV5-TEAS Mounting Kit
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The V5-TEAS is a mounting kit for fitting a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato to most American Standard Telecaster guitars that use a 3-screw mount bridge. It uses the guitar’s existing Telecaster pickup and mounting hardware, with supplied hardware for the B5 installation, and avoids drilling holes in the instrument. The kit also sets the vibrato in its intended orientation. A 3-saddle conversion is required for the Bigsby to operate properly.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Installing a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato on a compatible American Standard Telecaster with a 3-screw mount bridge.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- A setup that will remain in a non-3-saddle bridge design.
- Telecaster guitars without a 3-screw mount bridge.
