How to install a tremolo into a arch top solid body guitar?

Howdy,
I own an ibanez that is like a les paul style guitar (if you wish to look up exactly what the guitar is, it is a black ibanez ART100). It has an arch top body (not flat) and it has a stop bar tailpiece so i thought the easiest way to get a vibrato out of my guitar is get a bigsby. Is this the right choice? and also i wish to know how to install a bigsby onto this guitar. Do i need to rearrange my bridge pup or my bridge? And if this job is very sensitive and hard to do, how much would it cost for someone like guitar center to install it for you?

The Bigsby is probably the easiest way to get a whammy bar on your LP. I don't think you're going to have too much trouble. One thing I would watch out for is that the Bigsby isn't known for keeping strings in tune once it's used. Maybe the best idea is to trade the Ibanez in for a guitar that already has a tremelo. Don't know how much you wanna spend, but Ibanez's GRG170DX has the tremelo and three pickups for more different tones, and had be had for $239.95 at American Musical Supply www.americanmusical.com. (I have their catalog in front of me at the moment).
