You've alredy screwed somethin' down, so I suggest you screw down the Hipshot too.

I got mine off Crig's list from a guy who bought back in the "olden days" and did not come with the 2 holes drilled on each side of the strap button. I plan on adding those and going through the top as well (that's a great idea) since I noticed my G pulls a little bit when I bend. I did get the tubing that actually came with the bridge but it just don't look like the E&A will fit through it. Guess I will find out tonight. I can't wait to take that goofy retainer off and stick the ashtray on there. I am sure it will be 100% better. Geez, only 3 sets of strings one bridge and a bunch awesome ideas later and I will be in good shape.
Excellent ideas, thanks jmiles!
