Its SO light and resonant too - when I pick my Les Paul up afterwards it feels like it's bolted to the ground  :lol:

Will be gigging it next weekend, so I'll be able to report back on how it fares for gigging. 

Already had it up LOUD at home, but everything changes at gigs.

very nice indeed :)

that's a pretty epic bedspread, too

EDIT: ^ yeah decent quality mahogany in those junior/special-style guitars is super light. I have a JJ that is really super-light (in a good way).

Which one is the B5 again? - is that the one used on SGs and Teles?

Yup, it is. It's for flattops in general. I'd love to see one on a strat, that would be really cool. :D

But, anyway, were you by any chance think of installing it on the SG? :D

I've got the B5 and a Vibramate (Afghan where are you?) with the idea of fitting it on either an SG or my Epi LP Special at some point.

If I was going to put a trem on an SG Junior, I'd go for a Maestro liked they used in the '60s.  It would mean drilling three holes in the body, though, unfortunately.

The Bigsby isn't for the SG, I'm not a fan of them on SGs (the old Maestro ones look nice though, but only on standards).  The lyre tailpiece also looks cool too, but I like the grunt you get with a basic wrapbar on a SG junior.  Its all about no-frills with this axe.

The B7 is for my Les Paul standard, it's been my main guitar for the past 18 years (with small spells off here and there, only the odd month mostly).  Its crying out for a bit of Neil Young treatment - there a place in the US on ebay that do pre-aged Bigsbys too, so it'll match in with my WELL worn axe.
