Does anyone know where I can get Bigsby tail pieces specifically the B5 tail piece for a Gibson + Epiphone Les paul standard. I'm situated in Cape Town.

I have the option of importing them from overseas but that is going to cost an arm and a leg!

    It'll probably wind up cheaper than local if you get in on one of the stewmac (steward macdonald parts suppliers) orders that people on this forum periodically do. I ordered my B7 from them along with some other parts.

    You may be interested to know that you can get cheaper cast versions:

    What are you putting it on?
      I thought it would come down to StewMac ☹. I was just hoping that we would have them somewhere in South Africa.

      I want to put them on my Gibson SG and Epiphone Les Paul Standard. I'll most probably want to purchase another Gibson soon so I will most probably need 3 tail pieces.

      The question is to skimp or not to skimp? Should I go with the origanl B5 Kalamazoo sand cast or the new Lighting series Die cast?

      Is there a difference?
