Nice! I'd keep the bridge personally. But I'm old school. All my Fenders are reissues with the old style bridges.

You should change the pickgaurd to something else imo the white pg dosn't set off the cream real well though it is a nice color

I think the pickguard looks good!

Sometimes it is hard to tell colors online, but if that is the HONEY BLOND then you might want to try picturing it with one of those 57 gold anodized pickguards on it. That is a nice combo.

A higher mass bridge is a good idea for certain types of music because it improves sustain. Too much sustain is not a good thing on other types though. If you think you need it though, that Gotoh is a very reasonably priced solution that really isn't all that different from stock, just a little heavier. Also you don't have to grooved it which is a huge advantage.

Congrats on your find and enjoy!
