Bigsby-style Vibrato Arm for Mustang

Post by TimEMT94 »

I've been doing a lot of fruitless searching for a thicker trem arm for my Mustang. I have two trem arms currently but I just love the look of a thick Bigsby-style trem arm, and I'm wondering such a thing exists that would fit into a Mustang's cigar tube. Has anyone come across such a contraption?

in reality the only way would probly be for you to rig something up yourself. shouldn;t be too hard as long as you have a few files, some all thread and various bolts to try out.

Would it even be that hard? You could easily get a Bigsby arm, get a bolt with a washer big enough to hold the Bigsby arm, then fasten it on the other side of the Mustang vibrato cigar.

Or just drill into a Bigsby arm, get a bolt, fasten it through the cigar, etc.

Either way, pretty simple.
