Hi guys, Im considering of replacing the current humbucker-routed bridge with the gibson bridge (like seymour's telegib). Just wondering will the screw holes of my current bridge be aligned with the gibson bridge or I would have to fill them up and redrill it?

With my Warmoth humbucker bridge, the screws just happen to line up under the right position of the saddles, but the outside 2 of the 4 existing screw holes dont quite line up with the 2 holes on a Les Paul bridge. It appears that you will have to drill new holes.

Maybe you already know this, but the Gibson saddles need to line up at the same position of your current saddles. You dont want to change the distance between the saddles (where the strings meet them) and the 12th fret, or else your guitar will not be harmonic.
