Bigsby's, teles, & Hiscox cases

[The amazing Phil]

Ok,
so I happened upon the idea of slapping a swiggle bar on a tele by modifying the 3 saddle bridge to accept strings from behind rather than under, but wussed out through lazyness and not wanting to wreck a useful component like the bridge.

But, I've plucked up the courage to get a Bigsby and try this, but I'm not sure if the bigsby will fit in the hiscox case I have! Does anyone know of a hardshell case that would accomodate a bigsbyfied telecaster?

I have a TKL teardrop case taht came with my Reverend. It has a Bigsby and fits nicely. I'm sure a Tele with Bigsby will fit too.



I'm not sure if you can get 'em at TKL but you could try to order one from Reverend.

The Tele with Bigsby won't fit in a Hiscox Fender size case, I have both and I've tried. The Tele now travels in a gigbag.........

Hmmm, looks like it could be quite a search then. I imagine feder might do one, I suppose I'll have to hassle them about it.

If they make a case for the John 5 signature Tele.......

although the headstock is a slightly different shape on the J5 tele, isn't it?

Yeah, it's longer and has three tuners per side. The longer headstock makes for easier bhind the nut bending. Still I think a normal Tele will fit.
