Roller Bridge for Jaguar Classic Player Special HH?

SneakyPete

Hi all. First post.

I recently bought a Classic Player Special HH Jaguar and really love it. I'd like to make it my main guitar, and it's not vintage, so I'm willing to invest in some work to correct some of its quirks, namely:

1) Fret Buzz -- A "pro" setup didn't correct the problem. Thinking of paying for a PLEK machine treatment. Thoughts?

2) Replace the Adjust-O-Matic bridge with a Roller Bridge. Has anyone done the same? Which model is appropriate? The Classic Player has a 9.5" fingerboard radius

3) Replace the nut with a graphite nut. Again, which one? 9.5" fingerboard radius.

4) Replace the tuning machines with locking tuning machines. Is there a model which doesn't require drilling new holes in the headstock?

As you can tell, I'd like to use the tremolo with more reliability. This would be for frequent surf / shoegaze bending of 1/2 to a full step, not the occasional heavy metal dive bomb. The current Adjust-O-Matic binds to the strings too much during bending, in an uneven way.

Many thanks in advance!! 😀

roller bridge/graphite bridge would help w/bridge problems. also many 'pros' are hacks. not all of them, or even most, just plenty of them.

stick with the adjust o matic.

cause the saddles of a roller can buzz to.

i recently switched a schaller tom with a schaller roller tom. (i ordered one for my stang)

it buzzes a tiny bit(its the saddles)

other than that ,..its plays/sound/adjust exactly the same.

although the string spacing was easier to set up with the roller.

but i assume the adjust o matic has already correct string spacing
