JimPhillip Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Has anyone retro fitted a Tremelo arm to a 59? Before anyone says it, yes, I probably should have bought a model with a factory fitted trem, but I didn't. I saw some beautiful looking 59s with bigsby machinery on the internet, which looked ideal. So I contacted Bigsby to ask then which model they recommend and they said the 59 is one of the models to which they don't recommend adding a term. I contacted Floyd Rose but got no reply. Just wondered if any one has any relevant experience or insights. Thanks very much. The posts here are really interesting and useful. I have JTV 59 and firehawk. They sound excellent in combination.
