Bigger job than doing it t'other way around.
The post holes are a bastard to do without a fixed drill.
You'll (IMO) lose a bit of sustain too.

I didn't think about the change to the sound / sustain, but I'm sure it would change that in some way.

I seem to remember it did work as designed, but I kept thinking it was a ball ache for the sake of looks
I like me a Bigsby

Funny you should say that- when Andy at Chandlers fitted my Bigsby today to the R6 he did exactly that, added nut sauce and said keep the nut well lubricated for decent pitch return. He also recut the E, A, and D slots slightly wider.
(I pointed out I was reasonably aux fait with the need for lube but I am only posting that because someone else will if I don't.)
