Gotoh afaik -- they're available from Stew-Mac, AllParts, and Warmoth, none of whom mention the brand iirc.

I think the bridge he has on now is a Gotoh (if it's silver).

My friend Norio (http://imai-guitars.com/) in NY has worked on Micawber in the past and hardware wise, he said it was pretty stock apart from the tuners, bridge and neck humbucker.

The frets are old school skinny as well, and I think Norio told me that he was asked only to change the bad frets, not sure abotut it though, maybe that was somebody else.
