What's up folks? I just bought a used Jim Adkins Tele online, got a great deal. I've been interested in this model for awhile. Anyway, thinking about possible future mods and I was wondering if folks had experience hot-rodding these axes. Two things I'm thinking of doing are dropping an LSR Roller Nut into it. I have one in my Strat and love it. I've also always wanted a Bigsby Trem and it looks like the bridge routing would accommodate one. Just wondering if the JA-90 Tele is a standard width at the nut and if a Bigsby for a flat-top guitar will fit the bridge studs, not looking to do additional drilling. Thanks!

May I suggest trying a Les Trem 2 instead of Bigsby? Far lighter, touch and have bonus of not having to drill any holes, fits right into stop tail. Hope shot on my Reverend shows up: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nyoman23/shares/749fJ0
Here is link to where to buy. http://www.rockinger.com/index.php?cat=WG073&lang=eng&product=3667C-3667G&sid3=ef150a1404e52a30d14f422cd25ecf22
