A genuine Bigsby B5 vibrato with a modified string mounting bar that features counterbore holes for a string-through style rather than the original mounting pins. This version allows for quick and easy restrings. The counterbored holes fit the string ends up into the bar. Mounting screws, arm spring, and washer included.
The B5, sometimes referred to as the Bigsby "horseshoe" is designed for flat top solid body guitars. Attaching via four screws to a guitar's top, the B5 is extremely versatile. B5s are common on many styles of guitars including SGs, Les Paul Jrs, Telecasters, and Rickenbacker 325s.

Yes, this unit is identical to the standard B5 except for the string bar. The Vibramate V5 options should be compatible with this unit.

Will baritone gauge strings 62-13 fit through the holes in the bar

They would likely fit, but the max string gauge is not specified by the manufacturer. Doing rough measurements I measured 0.07" for the high E hole, and 0.12" for the low E.

The Bigsby vibrato with the pinless spring bar is is a great improvement to the already great vibrato. I use Bigsby vibratos on nearly all of the custom guitars that i build. I have never had any customer not like the vibratos. The price was very good from Amplified Parts as well. Lonnie Hyde Guitars.
