Scored a B5 Bigsby vibramate* kit on fleabay for my Esquire-lawsuit Weta
*no extra holes in the gee-tar
Took a whole hour to fit and intonate. Pretty impressed that there are no buzzes/rattles

driling holes in a tele isn't going to detract from its inate worth.... as much as I love my new found bigsby calliper love, tele bigsby is just plain ugly.
Though my opinion is probably wrong. and I may fit a bigsby to a tele one day.

In fact, the chromey machine look of the Bigsby bit counterbalances the classical 'tele' part of the geetar, in proportion, weight, and the contrast of wood-vs-metal. Its what a tele cries out for. Without the Bigsby, its just a whole empty parking-lot of wood on the back of the body.

In fact Tele + Bigsby = the perfect blend of instrument and machine.
