no-cut tremolo system

[slinkii]

i recently purchased an epiphone les paul special II and i want to add a tremolo to it without cutting the body. i know that kahler makes this type of tremolo, but it still requires routing out a cavity for the underside. does anyone know a way around this? i would prefer to keep the guitar body whole. thanks.

If you don't want to rout the body, why don't you put a Bigsby on there?

thanks. that may be an option if nothing else works out. i'm trying to go for the lean, mean look though. i suppose i'll have to make a compromise one way or the other.
