Which TOM should I change?

Kable

I've got a 69 Mustang MIJ,and the buzz of G string is very annoying. ☹

The buzz is come from the original bridge so I started to concider changing a TOM bridge...

and the question has come,

after I've read "Tune-O-Matic Bridge Install",

I decided to use Standard one,

because using this no need to do anything on the guitar body,

but soon I searched some related infomation in this forum,

I found Nashville type.

It's make me hard to choose...

For me,I am not willing to "damage" the guitar...

and I want to adjust easily...

Which one should I choose?

And which one it's the best?

Thank You Very Much! 😀

P.S.One more question,

Is it necessary to change the humbucker to fit the TOM Bridge?

Thanks Again!! 😀

can't really answer your questions about the TOM's, but I will say that it's not really necessary to replace the humbucker so that the strings line up properly, it doesn't really make a very big difference at all

If you want to keep the guitar stock (no drilling) then you only have the choice of the Standard TOM first version with the thin posts and thumb wheel adjusters. The second version wont fit in the existing holes.

Not sure about the Nashville. The best way to find out is measure the existing hole in your Mustang against the Nashville specs.

This is the 'mod' you are looking for;

Step #1: Remove the strings and simply pull up the stock bridge.

Step #2: Wrap electrical tape around the Standard Tune-o-matic post. Wrap just enough electrical tape around the post so that the post can just barely fit into the pot. Do not cover the very bottom of the post with electrical tape, or it may block the post from making contact with the metal pot casing. If you should accidentally block the connection the guitar will not be grounded correctly and will be noisy. A quick way to tell if it

You want the Gotoh Nashville tom!
