Hey Everyone,

Sorry I didn't elaborate, but I'm talking about the ABR-1 bridge. My 355 came standard with a Bibsby and no stop tail holes.

Thanks!

I wanted to know what material is suggested for a vintage 1959 ES-355 with a Bigsby tailpiece? Aluminum, or Zinc?

Thx!
Should be Aluminum, my 63 ES345 has aluminum.
My apologies I mis-read the OP, I thought you were refering to the TP. The bridge should be zinc body and brass saddles for vintage accuracy. Are you aware that the ABR1 for a bigsby equipped guitar is different? The bottom is shaped different to allow the bridge to rock forward and back.
