Modifying a Gibson ES-335 Clone, Part 3 - "B*ll*cks to Bigsby!" (The Marvelous Musical Teisco Trem!)

Hi everyone!

This is part 3 of my attempt to perform a couple of mods on a Gibson ES-335 clone (a "Rally")! It mostly covers ditching the awful Bigsby trem, and replacing it with the far, far superior Teisco trem - it is so much better!

The Teisco trem can be found here:

The video where they made a Bigsby serviceable by "drolling" six holes in it can be found here ;) :
