New member here.
Just got a Thunderhead that needs some love.
Pickups will get rewound, pots replaced but the biggest problem is the missing bridge.
Any recommendations on replacing with a 3rd party bridge with the proper 3" post spacing?

Will a Bigsby B7 vibrato work (felt on bottom) or other recommendations? (tailpiece is gone)

I don't mind modifying it since there seem to be no original parts available these days.

Thanks for the help.

I guess the Bigsby B6 is the one others have used on a Thunderhead.
