Could you put a Bigsby on an acoustic?

DAEDULUS

Maybe(quite possibly) i dont understand the funadmental purposes of a tremolo or how they work exactly, but would say a Bigsby have the same effect on an acoustic as it would on an electric guitar? :F

i'd doubt it as the wood on the top of an acoustic is quite thin and i'd imagine a bigsby would need a good bit of screw room.

love to be proved wrong though.

Well i'm not sure about a Bigsby...but Floyd Roses seem to do the job.

This was an idea that kept cropping up in my head. Cant believe it hasnt properly been done

Of course, he doesn't show how he's attached the springs.

A Bigsby probably is doable but you'd have to reinforce the top of the guitar.

Yeah, it'd be doable but wouldn't be a great idea, and you'd definitely need some bracing and top modification if you wanted the guitar to last any length of time.

Ive seen that floyd thing before, was just a bit of craic from what i recall...a 'throwaway' joke project with a junk guitar.

OK, I'll ask it so.....why would you want to do this to an acoustic?

So he can stick a pickup in and attach it to his big muff and he'd be waaaaaaaaaay cool.

any chance of being cool has unfortunately been deemed void by this...
