No, you won't have to, "cut any wood."

You may, however, need to drill a few holes, depending on the Bigsby Model you install. Some models require screws i the face of the guitar and others don't.

But, "cutting wood?" LOL. No.

How do you put a wammy bar on a les paul?

Les Pauls are not made with a whammy bar in mind. They do not have the right bridge. You would need to modify the bridge and drill holes in the back of your LP to get a decent whammy bar fitted.


What is a tremolo on a guitar?

that depends on wat u mean. there is an effect pedal called tremolo, a type of bend called tremolo, and a part that goes on your guitar. You probably mean what is usually called the 'tremolo' floating bridge on a guitar. This is actually a misnomer since tremolo means 'rapid change in tone or volume/amplitude'. What a floating bridge actually does is allows the player to change the pitch of a note or set of notes in much the same way you would with a bend. Changing pitch rapidly in this manner is actually called vibrato, not tremolo. The tremolo effects pedal actually varies the amplitude so as to give the impression that the note is not decaying as fast. Interestingly enough, there are a number of vintage 'vibrato' amplifiers that actually employ a tremolo device. This is why engineers should ask musicians to name their musical inventions lol.


How do you keep your guitar in tune while using a tremolo arm whammy bar?

Make sure the top locking screws of the saddle are tight and always keep your guitar in good intonation. If it still detunes you should let a professional technician have a look at it. If he can't do anything about it then you might want to consider changing the entire tremolo for a better and more stable one. If you guitar is cheap then it is most likely that the quality of the tremolo it self isn't good and can't keep the tuning at all.

Does a junior guitar go out of tune easily?

Things contributing to guitars going out of tune include: A badly cut, none lubricated nut A bad tremolo system Bad tuners Using a lot of vibrato Soo if the "junior" (whatever you mean. Gibson Les Paul Junior, 3/4 size guitar etc?) has a decent nut, tremolo and tuners it should stay in tune reasonably well.

Do the fender 1962 reissue strats have specific tremolo bars or are tremolo bars all standard?

there is no specific tremolo bar for the 62 reissue but you have to get an bar for an American strat...which are a little skinnier than others. I thought that all of the bars fit for all strats but I was trying to squeeze in a Korean tremolo bar in my 62RI and I almost broke it. So just as long as you get a tremolo bar for an American strat you should be fine. Enjoy...
