I don't think I have seen anything on this board about the three point bridge pulling out of a T-bird. There are a number of references to them pulling out of Epiphones though. Also they are a pain to set up, and can have issues intonating. If it were mine, I'd be tempted to find the best deal I could on a Hipshot.
Regarding the neck, I think some of the new T-birds have bolt on necks. Maybe the Epis?
