now: i was thinking about fixing up the guitar as a fun project and go all out and try to get an OFR for it. would it be worth it to spend the money on the tremolo and new tuners or just scrap it? i don't even know where i can find a black OFR-7 anyway, that'll be the hardest thing to locate. and also, does anyone know what kind of wood this is made out of? If it's plywood i'll probably scrap it, but it might be basswood or something, idk.

I think the Stagemasters were made of ALDER.. could be wrong tho.
You can buy a replacement arm that fits right in the hole you've created, if I'm understanding you correctly that is. If there is now a hole in your bridge/trem plate you can install this:

As for the OFR-7 IN black.. I say go PRO! You can get it here for $240:
Floyd RoseŽ Pro Tremolo - Black - Tremolos by GuitarPartsDepot.com
Will it all be worth it if you go pro and upgrade it? Depends on your wallet and what's in it VS. the cost to buy all new stuff.. you could save some time & money(?maybe?) and get a Schecter Hellraiser 7 string.. correct? It'll already have EMG 707s in it & a Floyd(unsure if it'll be licensed or what) and be rocking for about $9 bills or so.

Wow.. nevermind what I said about the standard hellraiser..
Here's a LOOMIS model for only $8!
