I thought about doing it, Glendale offers a bridge just for that job. But it won't look exactly right, the saddles will be too long.
I have yet to find conclusive proof that it would do anything to improve the sound, so my Am Std is staying stock. Others have contrasting opinions but the whole tone argument seems dubious to me. If you do the change it would be mostly for cosmetic reasons. Just be glad you have a bridge that intones easily.
The only mod I did was to flip the control panel so that I could access the knobs easier for volume and tone swells.
