Adding a wobble stick.

Post by Slowy »

Thinking again about putting a proper Duesenberg wobble stick on my hardtail Doozy Starplayer. Have no idea what I'm doing. Any advice, guidance, caution or expertise will be appreciated. I love this guitar and nothing less than perfection will be acceptable.

I think so but the time I briefly tried a deusy term it was pretty killer. Better than the bigsbys I've tried.

Everything I own is hardtail. Never been able to live with wobble until I met Duesenberg.

It won’t fit on a standard vibramate but duesenberg make their own equivalent.

Which fits:

The duesenberg Les Trem would also be a good option.

Yep, that's right. I have an email I'll forward from the folks at Doozy: I asked them the same question. Super easy conversion, no drilling required.

Oh, and you might want to think about getting their rocking bridge as well, though it is not really necessary if you are just going to wobble a bit (!)

Hmmm, without a 'tail' anchor, I find it difficult to conceptualise how that 'version' of a vibramate would be stable.

No idea, but this is the one that's fitted to most Starplayers.

yep thats the bigsby with needle bearings instead of ball bearings ;) I'd go with that. And the no screw plate, else you'll have half a hole on show if its like the standard bigsby mounting

It’s solid and bolted to the body via the stop tail studs. The Bigsby then has all the same number of screws as a standard B5.

You could get one of those if you don’t mind the tailpipes studs being exposed. They don’t do a vibramate type adapter for those.
