Incoming on Monday as the store I consult owes some money to me.

I put a Duesenberg Les Trem II on my Heritage H-535 today! It has a nice feel- somewhere between a Bigsby and a Strat's vibrato.

Where did you get yours? I’ve been looking for one in the US for the Oxblood LP. All I have seen are abroad.

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Hah! Yes! It's ugly as hell, but works great! It even stays in tune. Best of all, it's completely bolt on and can be removed in a few minutes if/when I get sick of looking at it!

I bought on eBay from ADP Guitar Parts in France. It was under $100, plus shipping and arrived exactly one week after I ordered it.

Does your Heritage have roller saddles or the trad ABR1 style?

Blackonblack, just be aware that Les Pauls require a locking nut with a trem unless you have an Aldo Nova. D and G strings are already problematic, it's one of the things Heritage fixed when they redesigned the headstock. We can live with it with a stop or wrap tailpeice but not with a trem.

Bought another Rickenbacker guitar today. That makes 3 in the last 6 months, all from Sweetwater. Here's a link to the photos of my new Rickenbacker 350V63 Liverpool:

NICE!

Traditional ABR1 style. There's enough play between the holes in the bridge and the posts that the bridge moves back and forth smoothly when the vibrato is used. It's staying in tune very well.

I have Bigsby style trems on 4 guitars (2 being a Heritage and a Tele). The other 2 are on a Duesenberg and a Penguin. The break angles and spread angles on those are quite similar to the LP. The Duesenberg is the closest. None give me issues with a properly cut nut and saddles.

I put a Bigsby on a Gibson ES-135 and it was fine.
