Help on upgrading a Fixed 7 bridge

You guys here are really the 7 string experts......I've learned a TON of new stuff here on this forum (enough ass kissing)

What would you guys suggest for upgrading a Fixed 7 bridge on a RG7321?
What are great choices are there and where online to buy??

Also any advise on doing faux white binding on the guitar? And does anyone have any pics of their successful binding jobs??

Thanks for the help!

You've got your head down
You've got your eyes closed
You look so pitiful now

Your body encrusted with ash
Breath heavy with toxins
Hair singed and matted
Clothes frayed and burnt

You are left with nothing

Maybe some Graphtech saddles in addition to the piezos. I've never used Graphtech before as I'd never owned a fixed bridge guitar until I got my 7321 a few months ago, but I'm thinking about making that mod in the future. Actually, I don't really think the bridge on the 7321 is all that bad. It gets the job done and does it well. There's really no need to upgrade unless your strings are constantly breaking at the saddles.

I"m still curious if it's possible to install a hipshot hardtail in it's place, they look like high quality sturdy bridges.

Yeah, if your strings are breaqking at the saddle (mine were on my RG7321) Graphtech saddles will fix it. I think they're a good investment, you can always swap them out and keep hold of them if you want to sell later.
I believe they make graphtech saddles with built in piezo's, they might be worth a look.
