Thought I'd bung one of these on my Heritage H530 ( Casino ). Shipping being insanely expensive on small items I bought two.
Joke's on me though as the Heritage has a somewhat unique bridge system which the bar is incompatible with.
Soooo if anyone has a Bigsby they'd like to hold the strings down on I have a pair going spare.
Cost me $137 each before shipping.
Apparently they also work on Fender jag / jazz etc.

Dunno. They offer complete kits of B7, B3, B6 with their bars although I'd expect they are more usefull on the B3 / 6.
I guess if you had a B7 with a vibramate fitting which raises the unit a bit, the bar may come into play.
