I think that most tune-o-matic bridges, since it is Gibson's creation, are s-spaced. Also, the angle that the neck is adjusted to the body is different than the fender-style guitars. So I'd have to change that angle if I chose a tune-o-matic fixed bridge. Also the pups should be all changed to s-spaced (right?). Abd thare are no s-spaced single coils.
The tune-o-matic option indeed crossed my mind. But after I took in account the above, but also the thought that perhaps a heavy fender-style bridge would possibly add more susstain than the tune-o-matic, and the guitar would need less overal modifications, I dropped the option. Especially the thought that I would have to change the angle of the neck, scares me a lot...
However, even after a lot of web searching, I cannot find the f-spaced bridge that I want :(
Should I use a tune-o-matic after all? :?
