I'm trying to figure out what I would do with this. It would need to be wired from the ground up... any ideas?

The wiring might be less of an issue than finding a bridge for it.

The VSVG should fit, it has 5 slotted holes so it doesnt bind on a strat but it allows it to line up with the holes on an Electra. I got one for my 175 and it fits. Plus, the design is cool enough to blend in on an Electra.

Check the spec sheet for fit.

Yep; I used a Wilkinson 5+1 for my X195; slotted straight in. Bit steep for a body & neck, I'd've thought, though?? :-?

Does anyone know if any of these standard brass bridge blocks would fit a Matsumoku bridge?

That 10.5 mm import Asian looks like a good candidate.

I might end up spec'ing it out. It would be an important upgrade for my Spectrum ST.

It's Baaaaaaaack:

This time with hardware and electronics slapped in... reserve not mentioned. It would be one thing if a player had resurrected it, but it just doesn't look right. I'll pass.
