So the plan was to sand the body down to bare wood and start building it from scratch with either new or used parts I have in the drawer .
After removing bridge ( tune-o-matic ) and tail piece , I have realised , that bushings for both are 12.5mm ( I guess it is meant to be 1/2" ? ) .
I wanted to buy a Gotoh bridge set ( ad in classifieds ) , but going by technical drawing , the bridge and tail piece have 11mm bushings .
Do I buy separate bushings , that will fit the existing holes ? If I do , will a Gotoh set be compatible with them ?
The other thing I was considering , was to get different tune-o-matic set , that would fit the holes .
I have looked online , but I can't seem to find any .

What is the thread on the old and new hardware?
I am going all gold hardware , so existing hardware is going to bin .
Tbh everything on this guitar ( 1977) seems of questionable quality.
Edit
I haven't bought a bridge yet so all options are on the table .
