How do you attach a whammy bar to an SG guitar?
Only some electric guitars can have a whammy bar attached. On the side of the bridge (the bridge is the part that has the strings attached to it on the bottom half of the guitar) locate a small hole. Put the part of the bar with the twist on/off bit in the hole and tighten it. Don't push down too hard on the bar, as it may damage the bridge/body of the guitar. When putting the guitar in a bag or case, remove the whammy bar.
How do you put a whammy bar on a bass I have an Ibanez Soundgear its a 5 string and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if i could put a whammy bar on it if theres questions just ask?
The device on the body of your bass where the strings attach is the bridge. All you need do is remove the bridge you have and install one with a tremolo--but before you do, know that a new bridge for your bass is a couple hundred bucks, and you're playing a bass not a freakin' Guitar. Neither Geddy Lee, Steve Harris nor Gene Simmons use whammy bars on their basses; the reason they don't is a bass doesn't really need one.
Can you put a whammy bar on any electric guitar?
Conceivably you can put a whammy onto any electrice guitar, but it in reality it is a lot of trouble of modification to do so. Answer: You can really only put a whammy bar on a guitar that has a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge. Most Ibanez guitars come with these standard, although some Fender/Squier guitars have a bridge similar to a Floyd Rose, but only whammy bars made by the Fender will fit in the hole. (at least what I've tried) And it is possible to set up a Floyd Rose on any guitar or bass, it just takes a lot of work, and a lot of knowledge because there are some vital parts in a guitar that you might not know what they're there for, so seek some professional help if you are a little uneasy about modifying your instrument.

I had the same problem with my new guitar, so its not one size will fit all is the easiest answer unless its the exact same brand and model. this is funny though my 7 string has a much longer whammy bar I like more, I tried to put it on my normal 6 string BC Rich Beast and it wouldn't fit! but the 6 string whammy bar did.

Can any whammy bar fit in any guitar because I just got a new proline whammy bar and it will not fit into the hole of my ibanez GIO so is there something else you have to do to install a whammy bar?
if it doesn't check out the ibanez forums, I was hanging out with one of my friends and she had a strat with no whammy bar so I took the whammy bar off my BC Rich guitar and because it was a different kind (floyd rose) it wouldn't work on her fender stratocaster lookalike. there should be no installation , just put it in I mean the metal is already prepared and a direct replacement, if you can get your money back go for it.

Is it possible to convert classic guitar to acoustic guitar?
Not a good idea. The classical guitar is made for nylon strings that put less tension on the bridge than the steel strings used for standard acoustic guitars. It would most likely pull the bridge off the guitar.
