Seriously no, don't!
I love the esthetic of the way it looks with the gap. Kinda like a guitar that someone totally loves, has played for years, making careful mods over time...
kind like the Dave Gilmour strat folks a shelling big money out for, but totally original.

I have had it a few months now and I am really unhappy with the bridge. Any advice?

I am leaning towards a top load. I have used and am very happy with this one on two of my guitars.

But this is fully adjustable as far as intonation and cheap. Worried about quality of material though.

cool cool finish..true oil?
hm, Warmoth body..
I only found the mustang style body with tremolo routing already done..yours seems without routing, so your Duo sonic bridge fits..

damn I am so tempted to do this too!
warmoth has a "no bridge route" option
looks like a lot of fun to play

If you're ditching your old 3 saddle bridge let me know. I'm looking for one.

the tele bridge looks awsesome..
the other hardtail bridge you pictured above, I ordered it last week, its a Gotoh, plays nice, too.

Here she is with the tele bridge. I have this bridge on 3 of my guitars now and really like it.

The body is a Warmoth with no bridge option and the finish is Stew-Mac tinted nitrocellulose in a can. Maybe 6 thin layers.

I really like the look of this beastie. Love me some parts guitars.

That is a fast track 2. It is a beast. I'd go with a full size bucker if I did it all again.

I thought it looked perfect before so when I read that you were going to put a tele bridge on it I was skeptical but
it looks even better now. That is one great looking guitar.

compensated saddles also more stable tuning.
and black bridge matched better the visual
