Kinda nice though to have a slight difference to my Jag.
What would happen by just changing the vol or tone to a 1 meg, or just standard practice to change both ?
Despite being a little dark the tone roll off is quite nice and gradual.
You'll get increasing treble as you step up each pot...

Still needs a bit more off as does the nut, but once it's there it'll be all good. May just use a slightly thicker shim to compensate.
Don't know how well it'll match up if the original thimbles are used, but again.... probably the safest bet in the fact the you can adjust the action easily.
Strings spacing is a little tighter which is a little noticeable but fine after a week when you get used to it, and the radius is just fine on this. Same radius as the Epiphones that this bridge is from.
I did the same thing with a G-400 TOM on my CIJ Jag for years, no probs. Original thimbles + large post import TOM = only the [non-adjustable] height to worry about, which can be solved with a shim. It was just right on my Jag as luck would have it, and I never had to modify anything else... I can just slacken the strings and stick either Stang or TOM bridges on it at any time.

I put a floyd and a set of EMG's in mine. Also, a fleshlight.
