PRS SE with Stoptail - Tremolo mods?

[AgusAD]

Hi folks! I haven't found a solution for this, and maybe there isn't one.

I own an old Korean PRS SE Custom Semi Hollow HB (what a mouthful). Absolutely lovely guitar. I'm totally in love with it, and have already modded it (Lampshade knobs, rotary switch, local custom pickups by Diliberto).

These past few years I've been neglecting this beauty. Why? Because it doesn't have a tremolo system. It's one of those "lightning bolt" hardtails. I was wondering if anybody knows about some kind of tremolo like the Schaller 4201 (no, it won't fit). I'm open to modding it a bit but I refuse to butcher it.

The thing has sentimental value so I won't consider selling it and getting the ones that came with a Bigsby. I'm open to modding it a bit but I refuse to butcher it.

Thank you!

I’m sure you can pick up an older Korean SE Semi with a trem for a reasonable $$. I know it’s more than the cost of just a trem upgrade but two SE (Korean especially) are better than one.

Thanks! Money isn't an issue, but I do have 3 more guitars with different trems including a Core... It would be redundant.

Plus, there isn't a model like mine with a trem... Pics incoming.

In fact there is! Pretty few and far between but usually there Scarlet Red Flame Tops with a Bigsby from the factory.

Yeah! Red or black. But none in Argentina
