The Vibramate Short Tail V5-ST Mounting Kit is a guitar mounting kit for mounting a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato, with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Tailpiece. The Vibramate V5 Short Tail Mounting Kit is the same as the Original V5 kit but designed for tighter locations such as the SG Classic style guitars that feature a larger pickguard. Vibramte V5 is for mounting a Bigsby B5 Original Vibrato and will fit most traditional style guitars that have a tune-a-matic style bridge and a stop-tailpiece.
The kit installs in minutes with the included hardware and eliminates the need for drilling permanent holes in your instrument. This mounting kit comes with 3 felt-pads secured to the bottom of the mounting plate for a soft touch to the top of your guitar. It automatically positions the Bigsby Vibrato in the proper orientation and makes a very clean finished appearance with great performance. The Vibramate Quick Mount Kit includes both English and Metric threaded mounting hardware for either US or Import model guitars.
The main features of the Vibramate Short Tail V5-ST Mounting Kit include:
Vibramate V5-ST Standard Kit Short Tail Large Pickguard Double CutDoes the job without any kiler-driller mishaps. A tad expensive for a horseshoe plate though, but it works well. I put this on my Firebird and the combined cost of this plus a Kalamazoo Bigsby is close to the cost of a Gibson Vibrola, which looks cooler but is less stable.
