VibramateV5-TEV Stage II Mounting Kit
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The V5-TEV Stage II kit provides a no-drill route for adding a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato to many standard Telecasters with a vintage-style ash-tray bridge and four-screw mount. It uses the guitar’s existing pickup and bridge saddles, with mounting hardware for the B5 included. The kit positions the vibrato, neck pickup, and saddles together in their intended orientation, retaining the basic look and feel of a traditional ash-tray bridge installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a Bigsby B5 to a standard Telecaster with a vintage-style four-screw ash-tray bridge.
- Keeping the existing Telecaster pickup and bridge saddles in the installation.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Telecaster guitars without a vintage-style ash-tray bridge and four-screw mount.
