Vibrato Tailpiece

Installing a Whammy Bar on my Shecter Guitar?

Alright, I’m sitting here with my Shecter Diamond Series Hollow body Electric Guitar, and I want to intsall a whammy. I’ve already scoped out a WD Music B5 Bigsby Vibrato Tailpiece that I want to hook up to my guitar. Because I don’t want to go out and buy a whole nother one. I want to rig it up on my Guitar, but I don’t know how, or Even if I can. If you need more info on my guitar to know, ask, and I’ll tell all I can find out.
But I just need to know if it’s possible and how to do it.
Thanks guys,

You need the whole Bigsby setup, not just the tailpeice. your bridge will be replaced by the Bigsby one as well. Also if the Schecter is string-thru, the action/tension issue will be a little more difficult. I wouldn’t suggest doing it yourself. Also the Bigsby is technically a tremelo bar, not really a whammy. I do like trem bars (i have a trem system on my Fender Jaguar), but i think the Bigsby’s look better on more ‘Traditional’ guitars like Telecasters and 335s. you might be better off with a Strat style whammy.But you do what you want, and don’t listen to this guy^^^, he probably listens to Fall Out Boy.
