yup . infact  ,,  it  would improve  it  .

Pick would it be possible to just scrap all this junk and put a bigsby style on it ? I'm not worried about screw holes just want it to line up and keep the action descent . its a steel reinforsed neck not a truss rod .

Yeah I got to drill them out someone a long time ago decided they diddnt like the Phillips heads so they made them round .

humm..  best  bet  =   keep scanning  ebay  to find  one similar  ..   ..  but  also,  ..  remove  it  to  see  if it is an original  .   (look for  extra  screw  holes  in the wood     etc  )

Springs screws and base look right but it has a flat piece that holds the strings . screwed to the bar .

hard to  tell  in  your pic  ..   does this look  right  ?  or  is  yours  more  straight  ?

yup  had a cover  .. and round  bar  .   yours  is a bit  unusual  for a  zenon  ..  but  should be easier to  find .

Do you know if it had a cover for the tail ? And if the tremelo bar was the flat stick or bar ?
