SG Juniors with Bigsbys?

Such a thing or would the intonation be all over the place? 

I suppose a trem on a Junior defeats the purpose ...

I don’t know about intonation but from a looks perspective I can’t imagine it’s a good idea.

Its works just fine with a wraparound, however you do need to convert it to a rocking bridge



The bottom edges of this wraparound are round and swivel on the studs, intonation is still good!

In my luthier days I built one. But it was made to be such and so had a roller tune o matic on it and bigsby. I guess it was only a jr in the sense it has just one pickup. 

I thought it looked cool and I got lots of compliments on it.

I have a LP Special with a bigsby and just the wrap around bridge and it’s great, no issues at all

Does someone make a rocking replacement for the PRS bridge, or was that a DIY job?

Gibson used to ship a version of the SG Junior with a Vibrola. Set up right they're lovely

A vintage-style plain wraparound with no string notches won’t work, but any other kind will. You may need to make it rock as Winny_Pooh said, although it’s just about possible that if the grooves are fairly short, very smooth and lubricated it will be OK without.

I came across a video of a 60s junior with a vibrola. Looked really cool. I suppose an after market bridge on the existing SG junior bridge might not work very well....
