First off congrats for the project, Thorpy, looks absolutely gorgeous.
And now a question please, I'm considering getting a used ST-62 for 65€, looks like a good deal if it's in good shape. I would swap the trem for one of those Wilkinsons, but I found a picture in another forum of the bridge holes of an ST-62 and the spacing was 52mm (pretty much like MIM's for all I know) According to Wilkinson's specs these trems can be fit in guitars with 54 to 56 mm string spacing. Do you know what your bridge hole spacing is please?
Going by your pics, looks like you may have a 54mm hole spacing. Do you think enlarging the two outer holes in the bridge to fit to a 52mm body would be a bad idea? (I mean instead of redrilling the body, use a file to enlarge the two outer bridge holes). Would that damage the bridge or make it prone to rusting?
I'm yet to find a good and affordable bridge for this guitar (with pop-in arm) as the only ones I could find until now were expensive (Hipshot and Callaham).
