Stetsbar and after-market tremolos?

[Lokie]

What about routing a hole for a mustang style tremolo?
I would try this but am worried about string height and adjusting the neck pocket with a shim too much

I did try it with my JM-1 build.

Maybe from using el-cheapo parts but I haven't managed to get it to work properly.
I want to get my hands on a Jazzmaster to see if this is the case.

Meanwhile it's just not used.
