Bigsby on an LP-100

[vonFrenchie]

I have an LP-100 that I bought in January. Since then I have played many, many, Gretschs and Les Pauls that have Bigsby's on them and that is the only thing I dislike about the LP-100, it doesnt have a Bigsby (which one is half the price of the guitar itself) So I went on the Bigsby guitars site and they recommend the B7, B12 or B70 for Les Pauls but dont explain any of them.
Thats where I have reached a problem. Which vibrato do I purchase?

vF,

Look at the model pictures closely. Note that the B7 has a foldover piece that has 4 screw holes, with an opening for the strap pin. The B70's foldover piece has only 3 screw holes, and no relief for the strap pin.

Both of those have the word "Bigsby" cast into the large flat area behind the string bar, whereas the B12 has a large void instead. The B12's foldover piece duplicates the B70.

Any of them should be fine, unless your strap pin is a special needs child. Figure your priority for either appearance or price, and you should be home free.
