I didn’t mod it at all, which didn’t make it easy to get the strings on there, but I managed to finagle it.

how much modding did you have to do to the Bigsby to accept the Bass VI strings?

The price can vary quite a bit depending on the specifications of each instrument, but a ballpark figure for one of these (at this time anyway, prices are subject to change) would be about $2500 to $2800. Thanks for your interest!

They’re Burns Tri-Sonic clones made by Eastwood.

I had all the aluminum pieces laser cut at Ponoko.com. For the output jack plate, I admittedly cheap’d out and just spray painted it black. I’m sure the paint will flake off eventually, but it’s easy to re-spray, if I don’t already have a way to get it anodized then.

I’ve been working with an original TB-64 body along with the original neck, and all original electronics minus the pick-guard and plate to tone and jack. I had already replicated the tone/jack plate out of a die-cast metal the was black. It has been a difficult task finding a similar idonized aluminum sheet to clone the original pickguard. I have purchased a blank sheet of metalic looking pvc to create the pick-guard, but I’m not content with, too thick. What was your approach for the pick-guard?
