    Its actually quite easy to convert a three saddle jobby yourself.....the string through holes are there as a guide

    Put a bit o masking tape along the back of the bridge, mark the horizontal centre line of the string thrus on the tape, use the existing holes to mark the verticals, where the lines intersect centre punch and drill 6x 1.5mm holes, debur with a larger drill bit (by hand) refit, enjoy being a toploaded mediocre guitarist! (in my case anyway!)

    Mediocre - good word. Not only am I a mediocre player I am also mediocre with the tools. I'd probably end up screwing up my rather lovely Gotoh plate :lol:
