[Sold] Bigsby B5 (Callaham Upgraded) and Vibramate V5

For sale are a couple of parts I have decided not to use. Prices include shipping by Royal Mail Special Delivery and assume Paypal F&F. Thanks for looking!

1. USA-made Bigsby B5 which has been upgraded with two Callaham components: the front roller and the string shaft. I have included the original parts too, but there is no reason to swap back. Cost of a Bigsby is £229, and the upgrades were £116. Offering this for £260. It's unused. 

From the Charles Guitars website (where I purchased the upgrades): 

"Callaham Front Roller:

All guitars equipped with a Bigsby B5 or B7 Vibrato suffer greatly from reduced frequency response and sustain because the standard roller is a piece of hollow tube with brass bushes at the end.  This hollow tube is very poor at conducting the string vibrations to the body.

Callaham's upgrade kits provides a solid, stainless steel front roller and axil that will widen the frequency response and sustain to where it should have always been. The roller is polished to a mirror finish and is grooved to maintain string alignment. This is a simple retrofit and pays huge dividends.

Callaham Main String Shaft:

If you have a bigsby then you need this!! NO YOU REALLY DO.  Why did no one do this ages ago

This upgrade eliminates the years of problems and frustration of a Bigsby Vibrato restringing. This again is a polished stainless steel shaft that is counterbored for the string ball ends. Thread the string through the hole and up to the tuner. Works for all models and comes with retaining clip."

2. Vibramate V5 for installing a Bigsby B5 without drilling holes in your guitar. Again, unused. £70.

Will do them together for £310.
