Hey everyone,

I'm basically about to buy a Pawn Shop Offset Special:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guit...electric-guitar

However, I am a heavy tremolo user and the narrow range of its system doesn't suit my needs. What I am looking for (ideally) is the feel and range of a floating vintage Strat type tremolo (think Jeff Beck).

Now obviously it's not possible to just swap this out for a Strat type unit. I was wondering if there are any units that might retrofit (or require minimal body modification) to the guitar that would give me a similar range and feel. I've heard that the system from the Mustang might be able to do this, and from what I understand it has a similar range to (if not wider than) a vintage Strat tremolo.

So does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

I am assuming that you are referring to this model?

If so, the Mustang and Jag/Jazz models to not share the same "footprint" where the trem plate sits.
