Guys,
I'm thinking of installing a bigsby on my Sheraton II - I'd like to have the option for some vibrato but I must admit, this is mostly for aesthetic reasons - I seen a pic of a guy who had done this and it adds a lot to the look of the guitar.

The problem is that I need to remove the stock tail piece which will leave two noticable holes where the screws used to go.

Can anyone recommend a Dublin based Luthier who might be able to fill these holes and polish them over to match the original finish of the guitar?

Derrick Nelson is your man. Had him install a vintage bigsby on my Tele a few years ago and the work was top notch, very very impressive stuff. He is expensive though, worth it though imho. His contact details are in the sticky, he's based in Marley Park, in the courtyard there.
