I would keep it as it personally as I really like how it looks already,  but your call sir,  

Alnico

It's a Tremolo that takes minutes to take off and on again.
I would do that in a heartbeat and BTW that one will look Awesome !

You could put that back to original in less time than it takes our kettle to boil. Even the Nut should just screw into place without a problem.

Do you have the tool for intonation?

Nah, the contrast is good

You have my sympathy

Seriously, you'd have to change the knobs too.

I'd change all the black hardware eventually. Schaller do vintage copper knobs and tuners so it wouldn't be difficult to source. 

DrBob

It's a Kelly. I think it's the most elegant of the Explorer style guitars.

It's a KE2 made in the custom shop. The finish is a one off painted by an artist called Daneen Bronson.
