It’s similar in construction to the trem found in Supros (like the Belmomt model) though styled differently. Fantastic little trem.
The amount the adjustment screws stick up tells you how much deeper the pickup routs need to be over normal humbuckers!

Courier came with me new Bigsby today ... gorgeous!
The trial fit of the neck confirmed that I was going to have to set the Dynasonics into the body by just over 6mm ... so broke out the 1600w router and brought the noise! This means I can use a normal Tele style bridge ... or at least half of one.
Fender make a a half bridge plate cut away at the back edge for the strings to pass though. However, stuff paying £80 for it! So hacksaw and bench grinder ... plus needle files ... and I'd made my own from a tele bridge I had lying around. I'll polish the cut edges and put a little clear lacquer on them to keep corrosion at bay.
Next job ... to rout the centre of the pickup cavities to the full 37mm I need to clear the springs.
Not to mention do a bit of a fret sort out on the new neck ... it arrived with a daft, big back bow - which I dialled out with the truss rod and my levelling notched rule ... I tried the fret rocker ... and yep it needs a level and crown, as well as those 'ground off at 45 degrees' fret ends sorted. The neck has nice flame ... but the claimed 'bone nut' must have come from a plastic cow!
I will probably take the scratchplate tight around the pickups ... and hide the buggered chrome as well as the mounting screws :-) Mother of toilet seat looks fab against the red ... so I may go that way.
More soon
