I would go for that if I were allowed any more guitars. Have you got the pedal board yet? I've been waiting to see it up and running.

I think it's a bad gamble. A Tune-o-matic bridge is designed to fit on a guitar with an angled neck as a Les Paul or SG. Put it all the way down on a flat design and it's still too high, so the thing ends up on ebay looking for someone who wants to make an angled Telecaster. It won't be me

Maybe I could use those ridiculous 1.5 mm picks I have

Maybe I could use those ridiculous 1.5 mm picks I have I have the HB MS60 and the JA60 and both have a TOM bridge on them. On the latter the bridge is even raised pretty high. I haven't noticed anything particularly different about the neck angle as compared to the Teles I have.

Yes, these guitars were designed so the parts fit together. The one I am looking at is made of collected parts and it might as well be a botched attempt. This picture hints at a high bridge in relation to the fingerboard:

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

What's the opposite of GAS? That feeling when, every time you see a piece of equipment in your house, your heart sinks and you know you'll never be able to justify owning it? It's there every morning tempting you to try to love it. SAD? Such A Disappointment. I hate that feeling. I just received my Digitech Whammy refund.

It's there every morning tempting you to try to love it. SAD? Such A Disappointment. Not a disappointment but the realisation that some acquisitions were simply not justified. I have an amp I never use and it will go on ebay in Autumn. Not now because no one is around to buy anything and prices are at their lowest in the year. June, July and probably August is the time to buy stuff cheap. Another opposite is the inability to share in any of the enthusiasm people display on YouTube for all sorts of new stuff which doesn't matter in any way. Pedals of all sorts are the obvious example but the same goes for new pick-ups or even pseudo-revolutionary guitars that offer proprietary pick-up swapping abilities. The only thing that moves me is a look I like. I bought two of my Strat's for their colour. That was money well spent.

I'd take a punt up to around €50 the bigsby is probably worth that alone LeoThunder . The pickguard screws are pennies, if it's the project base for you to complete it's not bad. It went for 205€ + shipping. More than I would ever have considered.

I make you right LeoThunder it went for much more than I thought it would. It would have been too pricey for me although the bigsby probably pushed the the price up a bit.
