Music is Win Can you do videos on basic set-up stuff? For example, im getting dead notes on my new guitar that I took in for a setup 2 months ago and dont want to have to spend another 85$ just for them to twist the truss rod a bit
How do you keep your guitar strings clean and easy to slide on? I clean mine with a cloth constantly but it still feels like my fingers are getting stuck when trying to play smoothly. Thanks
lol, glad to see i wasn't the only freaking out about the drill....i'd honestly just buy another guitar before i drilled into something, if i wanted a bigsby on my 335 i'd just sell what i had buy what i wanted....that said, a no drill bigsby is pretty cool! glad you didn't have to do that!
There is a Bisgby you can buy that you do not even need that adapter plate for. But that 335 now has 4 holes in it at the rear strap button location, which is fine if you plan on never taking it off, but if you do change your mind, well too darn bad lol. Me, I would just use the one hole where the strap button goes through and mounts it and not use those screws until after I was POSITIVE I wanted to keep the Bigsby on. I have a gretsch with one on it and it does nothing for me but I don't use a wiggle stick anyway. I did put a trapezoid bridge on my 335 style Peavey and I love it. You can just press down on the strings with your hand if you want to get a Vibrato type of effect, like Ted Nugent does on his Byrdlands. Also with the trapezoid I can just do one string where as a regular wiggle stick setup it's all or nothing. I did have to put 4 screws in by the strap button but I did wait until I was sure I was going to like it lol.
Hey man im curious..how much you payed for your 335? I just bought a brand new 335 but from 2011, has never been used and kept in a case with a humidifier.
Agreed. That sticker looks fucking awful... I do think they need to do a little bit of visual styling to the plate/bar though. They could make it match the Bigsby's look and it would be absolutely perfect with no caveat!
the sticker probably is paying homage to the custom made plate that GIbson used to put to factory Bigsby-equipped guitar to cover the hole originally drilled for stop-tail.
Quick note about tremolo vs vibrato: all whammy bars are vibrato bars. Vibrato is a variation in pitch, tremolo is a variation in volume Edit: didn’t mean to say speed.
A variation in speed would be the same as pitch modulation, as pitch is the speed of the vibration i.e. the frequency of the note? Actually, Tremolos produce a modulation in volume. One rather clumsy way to produce a tremolo effect would be to rapidly open and close your volume pot.
I was literally just thinking that! Whenever I do anything with screws on a machine or instrument, I dont wanna damage that perfect smoothe shiny screw.
Nope, that hurt me too. I wouldn't dare risk damaging the fine threads on one of those bolts. Though, to be fair, he most likely has several spares available if something happened to one.
if anyone reading this comment is confused, heres what tremolo and vibrato mean: tremolo - an oscillation in volume (how loud/quiet something is) vibrato - an oscillation in pitch (how high/low something is)
@@ZaneDalton Staccato: a note played shortly Tremolo: repeating notes at a rapid pace Vibrato: fluctuation in pitch This definitions are from classical music, so it is understandable if some other styles of music use the names differently
I used a vibramate conversion thingie on my sg and it works great. However, in regards to the stringing hassle, Callaham makes a replacement cylinder piece that just uses holes instead of those prongs which makes stringing much easier and I think it looks better than the Vibramate alternative.
I just installed a Bigsby B7 on my Epiphone Les Paul using the vibramate. Piece of cake, and sounds great! I also installed a Schaller roller bridge to mitigate the tuning instability issues inherent with using a vibrato bar. Very pleased with the results. Thank God for the vibramate. That drill headed toward that gorgeous 335 was terrifying.
I came running into the comment section to try and warn this man to use a Vibramate. Lucky for me, he's one step ahead of me. I installed one a couple years back with one of the spoilers Tyler used, and I love how easy it was to install without having to take tools to my guitar. It's been a ton of fun. This really is a brilliant adapter.
I got a Vibramate for Christmas so I could put a Bigsby on my Epiphone Dot. I also got a string spoiler, which is amazing. I put a slight dent in the finish when I put the wrong screw in at first, but it's under the Vibramate, so you can't see it. I will say you missed a good opportunity to switch to roller saddles.
I watch this video again after 3 years because of how satisfying it is for me to see the installation. But there is something that I wanted to comment on and I think it is something that we should all know from now on. The Bigsby system is a vibrato, but the Strat bridge and Floyd Rose are too. The Tremolo is a variation of the volume of a signal, but the bigsby, the strat bridge and the Floyd all vary the pitch and that is the definition of vibrato. The only difference between the 3 is the vibrato range. The reason why the Strat bridge is called a tremolo is due to a confusion that Fender generated by putting the name Vibroluxe to an amplifier that did not have a vibrato, it had a tremolo. From there the confusion was born
Vibrato is an effect that occurs when the value of the frequency is changed in rapid succession. Tremolo does not change frequency in rapid succession, but instead changes the tone's amplitude rapidly. Congrats on the bigsby. Looking forward to hearing it on your new album...
I was wondering if I was the only one super bothered by that lol. In my head I was thinking: Stuck... "Okay" Grabs pliers... "Right, makes sense" Clamps onto the threads "WHAT ARE YOU DOING STOOOPPPP!!!" haha.
Nice 335 and nice mod! Take care so... That bigsby could be addictive!! Just to clarify one of the most common mistakes in the world of the guitar: Tremolo: Amplitude oscillation of the signal. Vibration: Frequency oscillation of the singal. If you move the bar of a Fender bridge you are changing the tension of the strings, therefore the frequency at which they move ;) If you move the volume up and down you are changing the amplitude of the signal :D So: So, Fender guitars has a Vibrato bridge not a Tremolo bridge. You installed a Vibrato system not a Tremolo system. The floyd rose is a vibrato bridge as well, not a tremolo bridge. Fender did a mistake and named his bridge as a "tremolo bridge" and from then most of the people believes that is a "tremolo bridge" but it isn't. Something similar happened with the Marshall JTM45 with tremolo. On the back panel they wrote "Tremelo" and because he hasn't corrected it since, it's "tremelo" Cheers!
I've been working on/repairing/customizing/designing and building guitars since 1984 and if there's one thing I have learned the hard way just like you in that video it's to cover any soundhole or f-holes with ( low-tack) masking tape 🙂 this way you won't have anything fall inside the guitar 🙂 and if that should happen anyway get one of these telescopic magnetic pens... Great video 🙂 I'm a huge fan of Vibramate...
Just be aware buddy that those Vibramates DO damage the finish - where the felt pads connect they will eat away/dull the finish. I had one on an SG for about 4 years and there are three very noticeable marks where the pads sat.
I was thinking that leather pads would probably provide better protection than felt. But, in either case, there will likely be some damage to the finish over time.
And ... did you see those 4 screws he had to put in by the rear strap button? You can't undo that once it's done!! I put a trapezoid bridge on my 335 style Peavey but I waited until I was positive I wanted to stick with that before I installed the 4 screws necessary for that. He just put 4 holes in a $3000 guitar and yes those pads do mar up the surface!!
@@alabamahebrew nope the vibramate comes with a plate that screws into the bigsby. the plate is then held on with only the strap button. no holes in the guitar.
So glad you picked up the Vibramate String Spoiler. So many people don't know about these things and how they eliminate Bigsby re-stringing pain. I have Joe Bonamassa to thank: his Ltd Ed ES-355 Epiphone came with Bigsby factory fitted AND with Vibramate String Spoiler installed. Your Gibson looks and sounds great. Upgrading to locking Grovers would be the icing on the cake - faster, easier string changes and rock solid tuning stability.
Tyler! I was on instagram when I saw your add for this video. I had a bigger reaction watching this than when my mom started choking at dinner last night.
A little tip from a mechanic: if your bolt is stuck on the end of the tool you are using and you can't get it off, thread the bolt back in slightly and then wiggle the tool off of the bolt, then unthread the bolt by hand. This increases mental stability by a factor of 3 and saves you from throwing a lot of tools across the shop in anger.

Okay, I’m sure somebody mentioned this already, but I’m not reading through 500+ comments to find it. VIBRATO: Having to do with pitch changes. TREMOLO: Having to do with volume changes. Guitars do NOT have Tremolo Arms. Sheesh...
@@Yuri_official_dad Exactly. I have an SG with a B5 Bigsby and without the roller bridge it was a nightmare touch the lever xD The strings went like almost half tone down because they get stucked in the saddles
It's a collection. But at least he can actually play them. I've been messing around with guitars since high school. I'm 37 and got a 2019 Les Paul Standard new. I want a few more to collect but told myself when I get good with quality practice and music theory knowledge THEN I can get more. It's a double reward system! Get better to get more gear!
Just to add another comment, I got the Vibramate V7 G series and Bigsby B7 for my Gibson es 335 studio. I have found out that the studio is quarter of an inch shorter than the Standard Gibson es 335 and quarter of an inch longer than the Epiphone es 335; which uses the Vibramate V 7 E series. Luckily enough Vibramate are aware of differences and provide spacers of different sizes to fill any gap between the Bigsby and the guitar.
Well, that’s not his normal go-to axe, it’s usually the PRS LP style one, so he might not have been too worried, but if I had that beauty I’d sure as hell be terrified
Not gonna lie... I cringed hard when you took those pliers to the threads of that one one bolt and then dropped it over the top of your guitar. Please tell me that was tongue in cheek like the "cleaning" segment?

ACHTCHUALLY everything that people call "tremolo" on a guitar is vibrato, because it alters pitch. Tremolo alters volume.
Yes, it's Fender's fault for reversing the names.
Darn you, Leo Fender. Even though he made some of the best guitar models.
Even then, tremolo is still a misnomer. Tremolo classically is supposed to mean rapidly repeating notes.

I know that it's not the main highlight of this video, but SICK TONE dude!!!
This is so cool
Just to add another comment, I got the Vibramate V7 G series and Bigsby B7 for my Gibson es 335 studio. I have found out that the studio is quarter of an inch shorter than the Standard Gibson es 335 and quarter of an inch longer than the Epiphone es 335; which uses the Vibramate V 7 E series. Luckily enough Vibramate are aware of differences and provide spacers of different sizes to fill any gap between the Bigsby and the guitar.
Kids drop picks in acoustics, legends drop nail in f hole of guitar
Dusembourg Les trem 2 is my way to go and takes two mins to install.Fabulous!

Man that guitar is a thing of beauty. Even more so with the bigsby 😍👌
Bigsby is perfect for a Rickenbacker or a Telecaster!
As a contractor, and guitar guy, much props for having a Dewalt drill.
PRS strings on a Gibson.
Oh, Tyler, why.
Strings are strings.
^^^ its just pieces of metal. Doesn’t matter
Great mod - did this same job 6 months ago, couldn't be happier!
I’ll give you a cookie if you upload everyday 😝
That’s probably one of the most beautiful guitars I’ve ever seen
who else wigged out when he was fumbling with hardware over his axe? easiest way to put big dings in it
Well, that’s not his normal go-to axe, it’s usually the PRS LP style one, so he might not have been too worried, but if I had that beauty I’d sure as hell be terrified
Love the new editing style!!
ThT scared me when u wented to drill it
Not gonna lie... I cringed hard when you took those pliers to the threads of that one one bolt and then dropped it over the top of your guitar. Please tell me that was tongue in cheek like the "cleaning" segment?
i was planning to buy a bigsby but it's more expensive than my guitar lol
Yeah man, actually it's originally about 170 dollars, but I bought it during an annual sale so I just spent half the price, about 85 USD.
Dang. That's a beautiful guitar. Good choice for the bigsby. I have a bigsby on my tele. Tons of fun
First!
(in france)
Louis Gérard bonjour!
THAT'S SO SICK MAN!
perfect for neo soul and jazz!
...and the 335 was never in tune ever again
I think I have just seen my favourite guitar.
Thank you for the video.
Actually all tremolo systems are vibrato.
I used the Vibramate String Spoiler on my Bigsby with great results. They make cool stuff! 🤓🎸😜
seeing tyler without a prs is disturbing to say the least
And here I thought it was kind of refreshing...
The most beautiful guitar, I gotta say!
i have a bigsby with a vibramate on mi epi les paul, where the bigsby covers the vibramate, but here I would say the vibramate looks kinda scuffed.
"Custom Made" looks off-putting
