Have you thought about getting a Mojoaxe 60s compensated wraparound lightning bridge? It has the look and sound of a vintage one, but good with unwound 3rd strings.

I’ll add better pics when I get chance but she’s done!
I cut the nut slots wrong twice and thought I’d have to scrap it but just about had enough depth to make it work. Very happy with it now though.

Nearly pulled the trigger on some original 64 tuners to replace the Japanese repro ones on it atm. Ultimately I decided to keep the hardware that was there before the respray as I loved the feel and sound to start with.

Interestingly, it looks like the pickup might be from the late 50’s. Not sure but the 9.05 kOhm reading and lack of ‘ears’ on the baseplate suggest it’s earlier than the guitar.
