It certainly helps compensate any neck dive.
I'm kind of toying with installing a humbucker, either a filtertron or a minihum. I'd do it in a similar style to the Jazzmaster I just done, cut out a dogear cover to fit the pickup. Watch this space!

Love me a Bigsby. Make's a typical LP pretty damn heavy though. Here's my old 2000 Sapphire Blue LP with Bigsby that I sold to a member here. It was reasonably light from memory.

Yeah, I'd put a Bigsby on pretty much everything given half a chance. I put one on my LP trad which was already a bit of an anchor but there's really not much difference between heavy and a bit heavier.

This is so cool! I didn't realise they released custom colours like this back then

Do you think those set screws on the bridge could be trimmed a little? Just so I can sleep at night?

But those are Binford 5100 ultra tone screws packed with extra tone.
You know you're forcing my hand to look into the parts box for even longer screws right?
