Anyone uprade bridges, tailpieces and studs?
I see Pigtail and tonepros bridges out there.
I have the tonepros on an r9 that sounds amazing but it and RS kit and wolfetones were on the guitar when I got it, so I can't get a feel for what a bridge upgrade does.
Looking to try it on an R7 and maybe R6.
Just curious on anyones experience that has done it and any brand recommendations.
The pigtail seems really pricey but is it worth it?

Pricey and worth it :yes:

If possible avoid getting one direct from Pigtail as the guy can be a major flake for filling orders..sort of like some other evil geniuses we deal with ;) Greg at BCR Music actually stocks the parts, try him first.

I was afraid of that. I can see before its over I'm going to end up dropping major coin to upgrade and support my newfound historic habit.

Between the RS Kit and the Wolfetones you're 99% there already....the Tonepros still has th wire that buzzes, but there are a few other sources for wireless ABR's that may not break the bank like the Pigtails...I'll look for my info and get it to you. BTW - I've got Wolfetone Dr. V's in my R0, have an extra set on deck, and had Marshallheads in my R8 I just sold....suffice to say I'm sold on the Wolfetones and you wont run into a cooler dude than Wolfe ;)
 
I'm thinking about popping a pair of Marshallheads in my R7, but don't want to change pickups till the RS kit is in for a week or two to get a feel for the RS kits mojo. ( Won't be delivered til Tues), thta guitar has a bit more of a badass attitude so I'm thinbking the Marshallheads are right for it, especially with the 20% off deal this month.
