Thanks Michael. Yeah, I've contacted the seller again, this time a bit more firmly. I really think I would like to convert it to a string-through bridge, but there's only one issue -- maybe you have some advice for this: the crappy bridge on there right now is a three-hole mounted bridge, whereas all others (literally every tele bridge that has good saddle alignment!) are four-hole...will that be difficult for me? Would I need to fill in all three holes, and then start from scratch? Or, would it likely only require me filling in the middle hole and drilling the two new inner holes? Really, what would be best in this deal is if the seller would just give me $100 back to get the thing professionally taken care of, otherwise I'd return it...that of course will never happen, though it seems like the "right" course of action in my mind...especially given that he tried to give me the once over on this one...not cool.
But, given that I do go that route, and it is relatively easy for me to do (I have some experience with this stuff, just still a "novice" at guitar repair...maintenance I can do! Ha), I would love for you to send me the old 52 bridge! I really appreciate the offer! Just let me know what I would need to do (I'll of course let you know if I decide finally to return this thing if I ever hear back from this guy). Thanks again!
peace,
dave b
