installing a Bigsby vibrato on a Les Paul can be a bit tricky since it involves drilling into your guitar. You will need to make sure that you have the correct model of Bigsby for a Les Paul, as there are different models for various guitar types.

I recommend employing a specialist if you're not cosy with drilling into your guitar. The installation requires precision to ensure that everything lines up correctly and doesn't affect the guitar's playability or intonation.

if you decide to install it by yourself, follow the instructions gave with the Bigsby kit closely. You'll need to stance the vibrato correctly and make certain that the bridge is properly aligned. It may possibly also be a good idea to get a setup done afterward to adjust the action and intonation.

adding a Bigsby can change the tone and feel of your Les Paul, so be prepared for some alterations to your playing style. Also, be attentive that it might affect the resale value of the guitar if you ever decide to sell it.
