Re: replacing the bridge w/ American parts -- I hate to always be the guy saying this but - my experience is that American bridges and tailpieces are too wide for these Japanese guitars. The J-guitar that I put an American bridge on ended up with the E strings as wide as the neck itself.

Those tailpiece covers are often called "ashtrays", might be a helpful search term on the 'nets. Best of luck.

Found what's likely the correct style of tailpiece cover in my parts but it has a notch for a whammy bar. At least I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

If you're not interested in a perfect restoration, my guess is any Gibson style bridge & tailpiece combo should work.

That's a groovy looking guitar though - if it were mine, I'd get the surface-mount whammy from GFS and a gibson style roller-saddle bridge from the same website. Cost you about $50 total, and that repro whammy would look pretty kickin' with the chrome cover plate. You'd have to drill some bigger holes for the Gibson-style bridge pins I imagine.

Link to the tremolo is thus:

You'll also see the "bridges" link.

You do see those japanese-style bridges often on eBay; curious to know how well that thing plays when it's strung. best of luck - MC

The tailpiece cover probably had a single mounting screw.
