Hi there,

G&L has been using the Bigsby B5 on all their ASAT models. Those guitars have a flat top. However, if your Ascari GTS has a carved, non-flat top, you should use the B7. Unfortunately, I do not have experience with the Ascari GTS and the archived webpages I have consulted do not give a clear indication whether the top is flat or has a curve, or what the dimension are to test whether there is enough space for a B7.

So in short:
flat top -> B5
carved, arched top -> B7, but check dimensions

All G&L Tribute Series Ascari models have Carved tops so you will need one of the Bigsby bridge models which are suitable for Carved top/Arch top guitars.
As mentioned, check dimensions and I suggest that you contact Bigsby tech support to make sure you order the right model bridge. Here is the link to

Hope this helps.

Thanks Jos ,for me, my Ascari is carved,not flat s,i will test a B7
Thanks a lot .
