I finally managed to get nice big heavy strings 12-52mm on my G&L Doheny V12 guitar. It has a wound G, and I have to tune 1/2 step flat, and it took me 3 hours to balance the saddle height, tremolo tension, and neck truss rod. Works now but what a pain in the ass.

Reckon abandon it? Was going to sand back and paint but need to do something with the bridge & don't want to buy a new one. Warmoth parts look cool, love the sunburst tele shapepic.twitter.com/0KYu4Jvi9J
mmmm, I mean if you *really* love it and want to just get rid of the tremolo then you're going to have to strip it, build a wood block to fill it all in, and then put the one you want on. It'll be a project for sure. Building a whole new one might be easier.

This site will also help: https://www.stewmac.com/ Especially the books: https://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Books/Guitar_Building_and_Repair_and_Setup_Books/ … Get a few of those and study them plus watch people build some on youtube. Then buy the *cheapest* set of pre-painted warmoth parts to make your first one.
