Vibramate adapter will not work with this.
However I just positioned this vibrato where it was stable upon those two screw inserts and used a nut as a spacer on the front screw and screwed it to the guitar body one hole and screw at a time making small adjustments as I went. It turned out straight and works well.Sending back the $51 dollar adapter plate to get a refund. A tip for those using this type of vibrato, try running strings over the top of the front roller bar instead of under. I saw a guy on YouTube that said they stay in tune better and it increases the sustain. I think he is right. It's working great. He said it also allows for deeper dives on the bar. So it works more like a whammy bar. That seems true also. This vibrato seems good quality and turns freely. I installed this one on a EART LP-610 Solid body. Looks like it came with it.

I give this bigsby knock off 88/100, very usable.
It's not bad at all, holds tune, looks fine, feels good. Highly recommend for sub 500 dollar guitars.

Seems pretty great, alot better than $300+
I like it, I ended up buying the vibemate and hoped it would work but didn't so I just drilled and tapped new holes in the vibemate. There is never a day ever I would screw screws into my guitar lol. Tapping holes in aluminum is surprisingly hard and broke two taps hence the gave up and drilled and tapped a new one in the bottom center. Hopefully it doesn't come loose and shoot across the room lol. The only weird thing is it seems absolutely huge on my Epi SG. I've seen alot of SGs with a bigsby and theirs fit alot better. I only have like one inch from the bottom of my guitar. It had different holes but was close on the vibe mate so a real bigsby would have looked the same idk. My biggest gripe for the love of God and all that is holy..... Why does bigsbys have friggin stop from letting you have the tremolo more in your hand when your picking. It also sits high but I'm gonna get a smaller spring for it but seriously holy christ very awkward to use. I'm sure thinking about it know naybe it's so you use middle and ring finger to pull up or press down but I don't know Im gonna grind that thing off. Thank God it's not the $300 real deal lol. It's gonna tie me over till those sleek Duesenburg Trem 2s become available.

Perfect for me
I always wanted a bigsby telecaster, but can't justify spending what the company is asking. I resort to generic parts to build what I want. Turned out pretty great and easy to install if your a little experienced with basic handyman work. We will see what happens over time. The pins that hold the string ends seem cheap, but are holding up so far.

worked great on my squier telecaster mod
This is a good value, seemingly well made product that was very easy to install on my squier telecaster modification project. Just be aware that the stock telecaster bridges would interfere with the string path, so you either have to modify the bridge plate or get a special "bigsby ready" style bridge plate. plenty of info on youtube how to do this.My unit provides stable tuning and has been a fun add on.

Great accessory if you can handle the installation
The "not-a-Bigsby" itself is great. Quality metal, holds tune, everything I needed for a project guitar looking for an upgrade. My major complaint is with the screws shipped with the unit for attaching to your guitar body. Three of the four snapped just below the screw head during installation. I replaced them with higher-quality screws of the same length I had in the junk drawer, but the stress and headache of removing broken screws from my beloved guitar was not fun. I recommend you pre-drill all your screw holes and avoid the screws included.

Good quality for the price.
I won't say much about install, because you're going to have to pay someone or watch some videos on youtube for your specific application.The overall quality is great for the price. Added the necessary weight I needed to fix a neck heavy guitar. It plays well, smooth vibrato bends, and after install and setup, it stays in tune fine for a bedroom player like me.

fun project
Placed on my cheap indio Classic tele (which I love) Filed the ashtray to clear strings, replaced saddles with Gotoh brass, changed spring to lighter gauge Reverend spring. SOME DRILLING REQUIRED, would not recommend to do on a Fender tele. And voila... a chinese tele with a cool trem for a total of $120.00 for guitar. A super fun project.Highly recommend this"Chigsby" all modding info got from YOUTUBE.

Not worth it
Not worth the money. Very cheaply made. Very stiff.

Very nice looking
Good construction and operation but the arm is on the thin side and may deform if you force it, looks very nice, had two screws missing out of 4 when i got it, still a great choice for the price.
