Or, you could redesign the 52' LP (in the way that they SHOULD have done) and work it so that your studs are basically runner channels, accurately machined with a fine surface finish, and then your bridge posts (also finely machined) sit in each of these channels and you can move the bridge toward and away from the neck using the threaded ends of the trapeze. Might be a little overcomplicated, but someone should try it.
There is an easier and tried-and-tested method of achieving something similar: a push screw at the back of the bridge on either side behind the bridge post. Tightening the screw will make the bridge slide back in its U shape around the post.
