the body is indeed drilled for the strings and what you say is what I was fearing,
so widening the 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th will allow the strings to run through with no problem in your view?
I'm not sure whether they offer the same hybrid spacing options for hardtail.

thanks,
Surely some hardtail "import" models have 10.5mm spacing (52.5mm E to e)?
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Another thought. I think the Fender Noventa Strats had a narrower spaced bridge. Perhaps someone on the forum could confirm? Anyway, 5 mins with a router and you'd have a nice swimming pool rout which could take any pickguard/ pickup combination you like. Just a thought.

Although I thought it was going to be easy, it is proving a bit tricky to find a hardtail S style with narrow 52.5 string spacing and 22 frets, let alone under £500...
I might have to go the par caster route it seems..
I didn’t think about this
is there any sound change to be expected you reckon when compared to a thru body?
Although not a strat body clone a candidate for sure, I did not know that they have a swimming pool under the pick guard,
Hardtails are way better imo. Rock solid tuning and no annoying spring noise, looks cleaner. But I'm biased as I find trems completely useless
Coincidentally I might be putting mine up for sale soon, I've done a gig with it and decided I'd rather be playing my Gibson. Give me a message if you're interested, its nothing high end but the neck feels great and it sounds good too.
I looked at those Northwest bodies and unfortunately they are drilled for a 56 mm bridge,
let me know about your guitar if you decide letting it go yes, I haven’t pulled the trigger on anything yet,
