*If you do not have a Gibson guitar get the METRIC studs.

After I installed my bigsby I was getting string harmonics between the bridge and bigsby. With the install of the bigsby, I had not re-grounded the guitar to the bridge. The Towner Down Tension Bar fixed both of those problems for me.
Very simple, practical, well engineered solution for adding break angle to my Bigsby install. And as my ground wire is on the stop bar studs, it solved the issue of ground.
I’ve become a bit of a Bigsby addict over the years and I’ve tried the Vibramate adapter stuff for non-destructive mounting, and I found it to be expensive, cumbersome, and not always providing a universal fit. The Towner Down Tension Bar and thier various spacers and hinge plate adapters not only provide a simple, elegant, non-destructive Bigsby mounting system, but they improve the performance of the Bigsby as well! Highly recommended!
Love it. Brilliant design. Great that you can dial in the desired break angle...so cool. I've tried many ways to do the Bigsby with 335. B6 with your design kills the others I've tried.
Easy installation, improved tone (tighter low-end, woodier tone).
