Description
The complete Vibramate Stage II kit for mounting a genuine Bigsby B5 vibrato on a vintage-style Telecaster — no drilling, no soldering, no modification to your guitar. The kit includes the Vibramate mounting bracket itself (which holds and positions the Bigsby), a matching ashtray-style bridge plate, and all mounting hardware. It reuses your existing pickup and bridge saddles, and installs using your guitar's original bridge mounting screws.
Available in four configurations:
- Polished Aluminum — the standard finish and plate
- Gold — same kit, gold-plated finish
- Scalloped — same kit with the scalloped-cutout bridge plate for improved Bigsby string clearance
- Shorty — same kit with the shortened plate for Teles with a direct-mount humbucker
Features
- Includes the Vibramate mounting bracket, ashtray bridge plate, and all mounting hardware
- Installs in minutes using your guitar's existing bridge screws and strap button — no drilling or soldering
- Automatically positions the Bigsby, neck pickup, and bridge saddles correctly for a clean, finished look
- Polished stainless steel / aluminum construction, made in the USA
- Reversible — remove it and your guitar returns to stock configuration

Note: This is the complete mounting kit. If you only need a replacement bridge plate for a kit you already own, see our bridge-plate-only listings instead.
