Tremolo bar on a les paul ?.

Hello,

have you (or someone you know) put a tremolo bar[br]on a Les Paul, is it risky if i gave my guitar to a guitar shop to put a bar, is there a chance they might do something wrong and destroy the body? I am thinking to put a bar like Neil Young's do you know what it is?

thanks

I have not, but I've known a few guitarist that have.

It depends on which model you have installed. Yes, some of the models require more detailed work than others. You definitely want to know the guitar shop you are considering knows what they are doing.

That's a Bigsby B-type.

There are several Bigbsy type vibrato assemblies. There are many YouTube videos on the topic.
