As bigsby offers several different types of bridges for their vibrato units, one is not included with this kit, nor are pickup mounting brackets. The mounting screws, spring washer, and spring are included with this vibrato.

Yes the Bigsby B5 and B7 will work on a Epiphone 335 but both will require permanent modifications to your guitar. One option is to use a Vibramate V5 (Item ID: 005010) or V7-335-E (Item ID: 039555). This allows you to put either Bigsby on your guitar but will not require drilling any holes.

Are you aware of any problems installing the B5/VibramateV5 on imported Epiphone SG's? Thanks.1 answers

The V5/B5 combo is designed to work with flat top guitars using a tune-o-matic style stop tailpiece. Included are the mounting screws for import and domestic guitars. There should be no problems mounting this to an Epiphone SG.

The answer to the previous question has been altered to accurately reflect what is included with this vibrato unit. Only the mounting screws, spring washer, and spring are included with this unit.
