Hello I am looking for any suggestions for the best bigsby or the like for a Silvertone 1457. I do not currently have the guitar so not sure of the existing bridge setup. Thank you.

Have you checked Bigsby? Silvertone looks like a flat thin body. Check here.

B3 or B5. I have fitted 2 B7 type to arch tops and replaced the bridges with rollers because the the strings get destroyed with sharp edge type

Be keen to check out string spacing on any trem offering - Silvertones, many of them have unusually narrow necks and we don't want our strings hanging over the edge of the neck either.
