I decided not to DRILL the 73 Tele body for a Bigsby bridge, so I had one laying around. But people only put them on their prized King Size guitars and nobody would ever give a second look to a Musicmaster. Until now. It was sitting there radiating a blue green HAVOC. Sure. Why not put a Bigsby on the world's flimsiest, neck pup guitar? It's got the space for it. (I haven't committed to it yet, but it sure looks good).
This is not the Mez MM. This one actually has only ONE pup slot like the one Aug just made. It also happens to be the heaviest shortscale body I have EVAR seen. I took a lot of pics to try to capture the green. You can only see glimpses of it in the top right photo. It's like staring into the nearby lake and seeing the submerged EYE of the Loch Ness monster.

So I can drill new holes, which can always be filled in later. The Bigsby itself needs 5, but maybe this thing is never coming off. It's a correct period vintage Bigsby too, so it could be as if it has always been there (like Jack in The Shining). It is a much better mod than I would have had to do to the Tele since I would have had to install a Mustang bridge (with cups) because this one would be too large. The MM has nothing but room, and the blue black combo makes it look like a bludgeon already--very David Cronenberg, like Rosanna Arquette in a leg brace.
