Axis super sport trem upgrade

[Evilnj]

This is probably a stupid question but here goes lol. Does anyone have any experience installing a Vega trem
on a super sport? If so and any modifications needed? Thanks in advance.

You would need to modify the guitar, depending on whether you go for the 4 point or the 2 point. Music Man uses two tremolo studs screwed directly into the wood of the body, which would almost certainly not be compatible with the Vega. With the 4 point vega you would need to remove the studs and plug the holes, and then make four new holes to install.

With the 2 point, you would need to plug the holes, and then drill out larger holes for the bushings. I don't know if there is enough space to do that on the super sport.
