I'm digging my 1974 s-100, but I also dig bigsbys, and I wish it had one. And I don't fancy drilling holes in a vintage guitar.
On a Gibson flat-top I had a Bigsby b5 which attached to a vibramate plate (http://www.vibramate.com/vibramate-v5-install.php). The plate screws into the existing tailpiece screw holes and the bigsby screws into the plate. No holes needed!
Obviously, on the s-100 the tailpiece is angled, so the vibramate won't work. I had considered cutting my own vibramate-style thing but I seriously doubt my metalworking skills are up to the precision that would be required for the job.
Any other solutions for getting a vibrato on an s100?
