Dude this is tempting but I'd need a deep discount to cover repairing the missing B-16 frame parts

my man, thats kind of the point w a chopped B-16 (i chop all mine too), it lets you put a bigsby on a tele w a floating bridge and neck shim like an archtop. chopping a B-5 works nicely too so
you get that lovely B-6 floatee feel.

These are awesome--I'm a Bigsby disciple for sure, but I'm looking far and wide for a regular B-16 right now. I like to chop 'em this way

It doesn't just work for a Tele---and the cut part allowed for the hinge to be enlarged so I didn't need to add any new holes to the guitar. No need for shims and neck resets either, the ramp provides the break angle.

That's welded?

Is the Sorkin bridge compensated for a wound, or plain, G? Thanks!

sorkin base is the bow tie base, you have to get the tele version of the bar bridge itself or go w a tru arc

The Sorkin Bridge came with a B16 I purchased for another tele pictured here. I believe it’s a wound G but not sure.

Yes. My brother handled the process locally for me where he lives but my understanding was he took the cut off piece and the welder melted it down and the hinge you see was the outcome.
