I note that you are keeping the bridge.
Was thinking of putting the one off my JM-1 into a strat copy.
Good idea? ...or is the standard 6 screw strat style better?

cheers, Mark.
I don't know if one is better than the other. I think this one is easier to setup as a 'floating' bridge. I have actually changed the saddles to strat ones as the kit ones were binding against each other which was a pain for intonation.

Agree regarding the standard pick up setup on these, once you see it you can't un-see it. I will say that in terms of having a palette of sounds it still functioned fine and I did have a love/hate relation ship with the red perloid. This is a bit tougher though for sure
