Yeah that's the same bridge my Stiletto had. I had it fitted with a Gotoh GE1996T. It took some minor routing but the bridge is so much better. I wasn't a fan of the EMG-HZ pickups either, so they were replaced by Bare Knuckle Black Hawks. It all depends on what you want the guitar to do. This current one is just for learning chords, scales, and arpeggios. Most of the time it will be played through a little practice amp so not too worried about the pickups.

Yeah I couldn't found anything to like about the EMG passives ... they seem to lack output as well for some reason
Today I discovered that Schecter 'gumby' headstocks don't work in Mono guitar sleeves ... but discovered also that SKB rectangular guitar cases do fit, so I bought one of those

I had those pickups in an Ibanez I used to have and yea, I don't think EMG took too much time making those pickups, just kinda slapped them together as bottom of the barrel to put in budget guitars.
Agreed....
I am yet to see a Floyd - and I speak here of only originals - not 'Specials' or Licensed Copies - that really stay in tune without the little knob tweak here and there. Tuning is my biggest pet peeve and even with all the required service tools, accurate intonation, bridge radius and getting a decent first string height is super time consuming. My biggest issue with Floyd's are my incessant use of bending one string very sharp, while leaving adjacent strings relaxed and that causes pitch issues which are compounded by overdrive, and my heavy right hand palm mutes.

My Gotoh GE1996T stays in tune during a session. It often needs a tweak when I get there because of the weather or whatever but in stable conditions the tuning stays stable

Here's the case I bought, tested with my two Schecters. The compartments don't have lids but when you latch the lid the contents stay put.

The control cavity cover was really hard to get off, but I removed it eventually and then sanded the edges down so that it is no longer an interference fit. The underside was shielded with foil. Here's a photo of the cavity.
Congratulations on your new axe brother when all is said and done let’s hear a clip of that fine instrument

In the US. We park in a driveway and drive on a parkway. We also park in a parking lot like Dave says or garages or on the street. I bought n sold guitars at gas stations, grocery store lots and of course stores and the web.
