Surfneptune,
Do I look like the kind of guy who would change out the bridge on an original LP Special?
It wan't me, that's for sure. The bridges on both the Special and the Junior had been modified before I acquired the guitars.
The way I looked at it, trying to restore the bridge on the Special would be too weird-- there are already plugs in the guitar from the original bridge, I'd then have to plug the holes from the tunomatic and the stop tail piece, and then re-drill the holes where the original bridge posts were... that didn't make a lot of sense to me, it plays and sounds great, even if it's not 100% original, so I just left it the way it was, rather than plug and drill more holes.
As for the Junior, the wraparound can be restored more easily because I think the Badass sits in the same holes or posts as the original bridge. -- the Badass was there when I got the Junior, too, but here too, I'm in no hurry to do anything about it.
I hear ya! Didn't mean to insult at all! I kinda got that drift that you wouldn't have done that, although there was a time when those guitars were not that expensive and I can see why some one would do that. At least you still have finish on them! Somebody striped mine! And if they sound and play great, well if it ain't broke... There are folks making the original wrap arounds in aluminum so if you ever do change out the badass, you won't have to pay for a vintage part!

No offence Tom-- but I was a little taken aback, thinking to myself, yikes, people on this respectable music site might think I did what to those guitars?
LOL
So I thought a quick clarification was in order!
Missing finish, changed bridges... as long as they play well and sound sweet, I'm not looking for museum pieces. These kinds of "faults" (if you wanna call them that) help make them more affordable and attainable for us regular folk.

me me me!
i have my first squier guitar which i have diffretn gauge strings on for when i do some string bending on certain songs
my Epiphone G-400 that i got for when i feel like playing some Doom and santana s██t.
my Fender 50s classic player Shoreline gold guitar, obviously for surf!!!!haha have 12 gauge flats on it
AND my Stadco SoundMaster Japanese guitar thing that i dont know what it is for the more Fuzzyfied songs , got that one from my band teacher after finding it at the band rooms attic with the necks fretboard off the neck, fixed it and made it playable, still something wrong with the electronics.
had a cheap FEnder acoustic Dreadnought but sold it for a fender jazzbass which i later sold on ebay for 4 times as much as the fender guitar... oh yeah! 
and yeah that's it! i do prefer my fender strat though, until i can get something better it does the job !!

I have owned so many guitars in my life I could kick myself for the money I have thrown away. I don't know why I ever got rid of most of them. My first guitar was a Spanish made classical guitar my Dad brought me from Spain in 1963. Then I got a cheap Japanese Strat copy and a Silvertone tube amp. I had a Hofner Violin Bass, a Guild Starfire Bass, a Martin 12 string, a couple of SG's, Rodriguez classical, a Gurion 6 string, a Parker Fly, a PRS Custom 22, a Godin LGX-SA, a Godin Glissentar, a Wechter Pathmaker 6 string, a Schecter Cusom Shop Hollywood Classic and a Gretsch 6120--now all of them are gone--and the current cabinet contains:
A Gibson SG Electric Sitar with p90's
Fender Strat AVRI Hot Rod
Fender Jag AVRI
Fender JM AVRI
Ric 660-12
Taylor Doyle Dykes six string
Cordoba RCWE classical
Spector Rebop bass
Current amps are:
Carr Rambler
Gibson GA-5
Aer Alpha
SWR Workingman's 12.
I generally play into a Barber tonepump into a Fuller Tube Echo that then splits in stereo to the Rambler and the GA-5, sometimes the Alpha.

At the moment?  I own the same number of guitars as I do amps...30, with probably about 5-10 of either on active rotation.

Technically, four, that are actually mine:
- Squier Bullet Strat
- A classical, "Gitarras de Artesania / Pablo de Cortes" ...
- '70s vintage "El Degas" copy of an SG ...
- Yamaha FG-160 dreadnought ...
Update - With the income tax refund looking pretty good, now my wife says I should go ahead and upgrade from the pink Bullet to that all-white MIM Fender Standard Strat with the maple fretboard that I mentioned seeing. For one thing, that was the colour scheme I really wanted in the first place. Decisions, decisions...
Yet another update: I decided to get it, I went back to the store, and it was gone. 
The guy said "Oh. We have another one on the way. Do you want to put a deposit on it?" I did. It arrived.
Looks beautiful (to me), especially with the zebra-patterned strap.
Compared to the Squier Bullet Strat, it's plays "like buttah". The tone is much ... I don't know ... smoother is the only word I can think of. Also much quieter, it must have some/better shielding (haven't look under the pickguard yet).
If I get yet another guitar, chances are I'll attempt to build a cigar box guitar and wind my own single-coil pickup for it. They seem to have lots of character.
This thread reminds me of a guy who collected console radios, those big-ass wooden monolith multi-band tube radios from the '30s and '40s. He said "I have so many consoles that whenever I open the door to my apartment I break dial glass".
— I'm not a complete idiot. Some parts are missing.

1963 Jaguar
1961 Fender VI
Japanese Jaguar
12 String Strat
Squier Strat
Epiphone Sheraton
Squier JV Precision
Hofner Lap Steel
Very cheap ukulele
Takamine acoustic
I don't need all of these, to be honest, only the two Jags, the Fender VI, the precision and the acoustic. I used to use the Squier Strat as a spare, until I got the Japanese Jag and I haven't sold it since, because it has so little resale value. Each of the others is very different, though, so they're nice to have.
I'm currently considering an Italia Imola, just because it looks so cool and has 25 possible pickup combinations! Has anyone actually played one?
