It needs a Floyd...

Hehe! No, I don't think so. It's going to stay a hardtail.

And speaking of hardtails... check out the bridge that came on this body. It's a Gotoh 510, but it's old...

It's unusual in that the intonation adjustment screws are offset from center, and there's a saddle height adjustment set screw on the other side of center. It doesn't allow for as much adjustment as a your typical saddle, but you can probably get +/- .015" or so, which should be plenty. The new 510s don't  have that. I wonder why they quit doing it?

And you wanna talk shyt about floyds, those wrap arounds are the worst at intonation.. Those things are junk... Getcha one of these and sayve the headache, use that other one for a decoration in your fish tank...

[Cagey]

I've seen the Hannes bridge on eBay for $120-$140 depending on the color. That's got me wanting to build a guitar just for that bridge. Nice score Cagey!

At least they're available. The picture I linked above is from Luthier's Mercantile, and they have all three of those in stock. Usually, when I find something from Schaller that I like, you can't buy it for love nor money.

I finally had to order the Schaller Floyd replacement for my Tangerine Strat from Germany, as the only place I could get them here was one site on eBay, and they had the wrong finish. But, it's not here yet, and I'm not holding my breath. They took the order, sent confirmation, but never charged me anything for it. Here it is nearly three weeks later, and nothing has shown up. So, I don't know what's going on there. Gonna have to send 'em an email or something.
