hardware modding on epiphone les paul

[kingofnima]

hey everybody

To start let me first say this is an awesome forum I got a lot of help and i hope I could help some people too. A while back I updated all of my electronics in my Epiphone Les Paul (pickups, pots, cabs, wiring,....) and it really did do a lot of good things to my sound so now I want to do some modding with the hardware to get a even better sound. I don't really know much about guitar hardware so everything I know is knowledge I scraped together by reading some threads so I am sorry if I say something wrong.

So the main things I want to change is my bridge and tailpiece, possibly the nut and if I can find a couple of good locking tuners I wouldn't say no to that either.

so for the bridge I was thinking about a TonePros Metric Tune-O-Matic Bridge with GraphTech Saddles

and for the tail piece I was thinking about a Les Trem Stop-Tailpiece Tremolo

I am not really sure if those work well but I heard they are pretty decent and I will not have to drill any holes like I would if I would install a bigsby. Also it is not as big so I can still fit my Les Paul in the case. If anybody thinks it would be better to just get a normal tailpiece please tell me so!

for the nut I really don't know. I know that Graphtech makes some that already have the right cuts in it but I don't know if the ones that are made for gibsons will actually fit my epi. Also do you guys think that some graphite into my old nut would work just as good?

For the tuners I was thinking some sort of locking tuners, maybe Grover or so but I don't really know what the best brand would be.

thanks for helping!!
