Vee with Fender Floating* Tremolo (AKA Jazzmaster/Jaguar vibrato) in the style of Harry Seven. 

H7 would probably buy the finished project.

* Pun intended. In this example, the vibrato tailpiece would be suspended between the "legs" of the Vee, like a sporran. 

SteveRobinson

Oh that might work! But no.

So perhaps, a Lonnie Mack style Flying V?

I have some plumbing supplies left over if you need something from which to fashion the relevant metal bits for mounting the Bigsby - they'd be similarly elegant! 

Funkfingers

My suggestion of the Jaguar vibrato was entirely fatuous.

Far easier to imagine a kit supplier offering would be a Vee with a six screw fulcrum vibrato. Shades of Randy Rhoads but with the wrong Vee outline.

SteveRobinson

The kit has been "out for delivery" since 8:45 but no sign of it. Maybe tomorrow.

Once I've checked it out I'll post my plans. I just hope it won't be an anticlimax...

Funkfingers

Wot? Like a Spongebob ukulele?

SteveRobinson

WELL.

It was going to be a Hendrix painted 67 V with Maestro Vibrola but the neck (only) arrived today and is absolute bobbins so is going back. 

Will have to think again...

I LOVE those maestro vibrolas.  Yes, they are bit showy, but they are easy to fit, easy to use and - yes - they actually work!!

Total bobbins. It looks okay in the photo but I should have known better.

Cano

So probably the kinda neck I've got on my China kit...... Great.

Total bobbins.

Bobbins of cotton = rotten. Hence, usage in Greater Manchester area.

Did you get hit with import duty/etc on that Steve?
