Re: looking for a pair of vintage style humbuckers for an agile lp style
Don't get a roller bridge, the one you have is fine. Its not the birdge where bigsbys go out of tune: you will find that the 6 strings gently rock the bridge a little so rollers dont really help much. However - do get a graph tech nut, get it set up nicely and get a stick of chap stick (or nut sauce if you want to spend 20 bucks). Bigsbys are surprisingly stable if you have the nut set up correctly. Also if you don't want to drill a hole in the top to accommodate the B70, check out the Towner down tension bar http://townerusa.com/ and maybe a b60 instead. Alternatively, you could look at getting a vibra-mate http://www.vibramate.com/index.php and a B5 - they also make a model that works with a b7 on a les paul, but your guitar might be slightly different dimensions to a lester.
