Location: New Jersey		Greetings all,
I want to put a Bigsby on my Tornado and really don't know which one would work best and be the easiest to install. Any advice?
Also I just realized a tremolo was a factory option on these. Does anyone have an Ovation trem unit for sale?
How does the Ovation trem work? is it a good design?
Thanks,
John

Location: Scotland		The vibratos used by Ovation were manufacured by Schaller and originals in good working condition are hard to find. A Bigsby makes a good substitute, you'll need the short B3 model and you'll probably need to re-set the neck angle.

Daves' Tornado is beautiful.

Paul,
Did Schaller also make the trems for the Ultra GS or are they made by Kahler?

I think that's a Thunderhead not a Tornado.
