I can't see anything wrong with the guitar as it is.

A Bigsby would just look silly on a heavey metal guitar, if you ask me.

If you're not happy with the Renegade, why not look into a different guitar, instead of trying to modify this one to become something it's not?

I would paint the body either black or white and leave it at that. That should get rid of the spandex and sweat band look.

Sure, easy job as long as you can solder. Get a mono switchcraft jack (should be available at any music store), and connect it up the same way as the old one.
