    yes yes it is. look into a bigsby tremelo

    look into floating tremelo systems.

    I should think a Bigsby would work fine. What sort of Epiphone? A Les Paul or SG type model?

    I think that's what you're looking for.

    Shit, doesn't work. Ok, try this.

    Go to "Search Catalog", then go to "Advanced Search", type "Bigsby", click "Search". That should do it.

    Bigsby will be the easiest, work the best, and look the coolest on that guitar. Hell, I might do it just for the looks.
    ...and if you don't like it, you can suck on an egg.

    on the guitar im building now, Im putting in a strat trem system. Its a bitch. I probably should have gone with a floating system, like a bigsby
