So go for a B7 and reinforce the areas where you'll drill in the top.
That means that to install a Bigsby on a fully hollow guitar, you need to reinforce the screw holes a bit with small blocks of wood that you glue underneath the top (via the hole of the bridge pickup) so the screw has enough material to bite in.īoth the B3 & B7 will work, but the B3 will cause the strings to be really slack over the bridge, which really affects the sustain and overall playability. The Casino is a fully hollow guitar, so that means the two screws that are used to anchor the B7-Bigsby to the top only claw in a few millimeters of laminate, instead of in a big center block like on the 335.
