Back to work on the Aria Bud-Strat:

I installed the six-screw "vintage"-type bridge that I bought at Dallas Used Guitars. This bridge was a real deal; they sold me the bridge, saddles, claw, springs, and all the screws for only $10. I know this was just a loss-leader to get my attention, and it worked.

I strung up the guitar with the strings that came on it. It's pretty obvious now that the nut needs to be replaced, at least with a temporary one. For now, though, I just re-adjusted the radius of the bridge saddles to match the fretboard and balance the tremolo. I set the intonation and was ready to play.
