Decent bridge of any kind plus jag/JM trem should be very stable with the right setup.

Plus they feel so smooth when using them.

toggling
position one has a capacitor giving a cocked wah type sound
two is with the tone knob
three is just volume.
I wondered about the 3-way selector on Esquires for YEARS, only recently had someone explain it to me. Surprisingly really versatile!
Anyway, super lovely guitar. I'd play the hell out of that thing!

Anyone thinking of doing something similar to this I’m going to recommend some sort of grooved saddle. The strings sliding around a decent amount I just ordered the Callaham Bigsby saddles.
Other than that I love it. Still playing it all the time. I love the esquire wiring is really useful. I’m thinking I might use it more than a neck pickup. Not sure if I’m going to make that change or not right now.
The all parts V neck feels great in my hand nice and chunky.

I'd recommend this, with a change of saddles.
Lucky mine should be here tonight.

There's also some retrofit Tele roller bridges, usually for use with a Bigsby...
Not as classic looking as the regular Tele bridge, but it's an option. Slotted saddles will probably work fine.
