Yep, got my eyes on the next mod and up next, my Dot.

Just looking at an upgrade of the pots, pick ups, and switch.

One mod and a soldering DVD and I am a Mod Monster.

So, now to select what will go into the Dot.

What are the benefits of the Roller bridge and the TP-6?

I have a Bigsby on the Wildkat and never use it.

the roller bridge allows the strings to move back and forth across the bridge easier when using the bigsby...

TP-6 allows quick & easy intonation adjust on-the-fly.

So if you have no Bigsby, you really have no need for a roller bridge, right?

That's what I had on the ARC300

That TP-6 looks too cool, and functional as well.

Keep us posted on how the mods are coming along, Strummy!

And you get to experience "building a ship in a bottle". Fishing wires through the body can be a fun experience. :D

Yep, I already looked into it and being prepared, patience, and making sure you have string are good starts to this next project.
