Bought this recently & did a couple of tweaks.
I couldn't find a use for the strangle switch so this has been converted to a series/parallel switch, vintage style tuners converted to locking tuners & oem bridge converted to roller saddle type which smooths out the trem operation.
Hung on a strap & strung with 10-46 this is an absolute joy to play & with the ser/par switch option it suits me perfectly, all I can say is if you're showing your age like me then you need to buy one of these.
For info, the locking tuners ( which I have used on other guitars & work well, you may need to open headstock holes as these use 10mm bushings ) together with the roller bridge which has 6mm post holes & fits straight on the posts of the mim AOM, for the switch conversion you will need a DPDT slide switch, I used Maplin part noFH36P which is a perfect fit you will also need to disconnect claw earth wire from pickup & solder on a separate earth wire. pics below
