Dont forget that vintage style tune-o-matics are narrower and have less saddle travel than some of the newer models so sometimes you can change bridge to get more travel. I dont know about the tone-pros or the guitar you have though. And dont rule out compensating the nut instead.
A nashville TOM (new gibsons) is about 13.46 mm front to back. Gotoh's are 13.84mm. ABR-1's (classic gibson) are only 11.1mm. 3mm can be alot of travel. I have seen lots of cheaper guitars with TOM's more like the old gibsons and lots with the Gotoh style so it really depends what you have. I wouldnt change a bridge just for this reason but if you were changing one anyway it could be an added bonus.[/quote
That's right, the Tonepros definatly have longer saddle travel!!!
