Ask Bigsby what they think.Īs far as a source for a wiring harness, I would talk to TWANG if I were you. But, as I indicated, McCartney's Casino had a B7 too and it would have been a pound or two higher than a B3 so that's not entirely the issue. My first thought is that Casino doesn't use a B3 because there isn't a licensed model (no B30 or B300) so cost would be a factor.
The only potenitial issue might be the break angle off the back of the bridge. My first guitar, a Harmony H76, had one and it worked just fine. My guess is that the top of the casino is thick enough to support a B7/B70/B700 just fine but if was mine, I might consider a B3 that didn't have to be screwed down to the top. Here's a picture of Lennon playing it before Paul had it restrung sinister style: McCartney's Casino has a B7 on it as well. Previously, Epiphone had their own branded Bigsby (didn't say Bigsby on it so I've always wondered if it was a knockoff). But, as I indicated, McCartneys Casino had a B7 too and it would have been a pound or two higher than a B3 so thats not entirely the issue. Epiphone had a special run of Casinos with Bigsbys that I thought looked fantastic. My first thought is that Casino doesnt use a B3 because there isnt a licensed model (no B30 or B300) so cost would be a factor.
