im thinking about using a toronado bridge even though I think it is smaller and might look a little funny

nevermind I found this guy: musicmaster 6-saddle bridge

That's up to you. I'm not a fan of the string through. Lol. And I wanted to go as close to stock as I could.

i think i could convert it to top loader with a drill and a vice!

Yeah, what he said; drill 3 holes in the back end and use a set of 3 Telecaster saddles (compensated, if that's your thing).
Feed the strings through the OG saddle adjuster holes.
And job's a good'un!

Should look a bit like this, but newer...

Holy fucking shit I am happy with the way this paint came out. Perfectly what I wanted. Candy Apple Red with a hint of orange fade kinda like the Marr Jag to show some wear. I am extremely happy with how this is turning out! This comes before my 66 Burgundy Mist mustang. God damn...

I'm going to have to get white button fender f tuners eventually to get it exactly stock looking.

These motherfuckers always look like spaceships to me. I like it.

not personally a fan of "aging" things, but overall that guitar is turning out great!

Nothing's aged but the Pickguard. It's just yellowed a bit.

Nooooooooooooo! Kluson Deluxe.
This is mine:

I would suggest SD9105MNP but the description at Anthill Music says "Kluson Deluxe is stamped onto the metal case in a single line down the center."
Ebay ad here for SD9105MNP DR - Double Row - looks right.

Aren't the originals Fender F white button tuners? All the pictures I see they are. I have a set of cv duosonic tuners.

Fender Klusons = 60Â´s
