Hi, I'd like to put a vibrato, a home made one to one of my CBG but, I have never made one or seen any so if someone could tell me how to build it, nothing complicated...Or show me some photos of CBGs equiped with home made vibratos, it would be great.

I'll try these ideas, thanks
Got an idea of using a regular brass door hinge, but still working it out ... planning to use one side of the hinge, drill holes for the strings in the hinge pin, then bolt the hinge plate to the end of the box or bottom of the neck. String the strings through, and you get a kinda Bigsby-like thing. That's how it looks in my brain, anyway - we'll see how it works in real life (my brain is NOT real life ...) when I'm done. Need to work out a handle ...
cupboard hardware .
gate latch hardware .
coat hook and metal shim
these give you more of a "wow" effect than a" wah" or wooo wooo ,, but same idea .
