I considered the fixed bridge first, but the tremelo cavities are on top, behind where the bridge sits...so I'd have to cover, fill, or try to ignore the gaping holes. Besides, my other axe is an SG...so I'll fix this one like it's supposed to play, only with more modern parts. As far as paying 3-5 times for 'vintage' parts, no way do I have the money or even desire. I looked into it though on ebay, and found a decent price for some '66 mustang tuners...clicked the link and turns out he only had 5 rusty ones!
