Trem on a T style guitar

[replayboy]

Could you guys give me some info,
I am trying to finish a spec on a new Anderson and i am looking at trying a trem on it. Couple of questions, as far as i know Tom uses a Gotoh trem with a push in arm?? if so, can i use it in or out if i choose? and if its out, can it be ordered with a fair amount of tension on it so if i play with my hand on the bridge like i do on my other teles, it wont "waver" If it matters, I had a PRS singlecut trem and found it wasnt difficult to push out of tune as i played.
Its going on a contoured T or hollow T body, talking of which, is there any reason i cant have a hollow T contoured in alder with a all metallic amber body?
Thanks guys.

yes
yes
yes.
it can rest on the body and it will be as stable as if it weren't there.
no reason, you can have that.

Thanks for he quick reply as usual Tom,
Just interested in the process of a hollow T on a non drop top guitar, do you still have to "split" the guitar top as if it was maple cap, to do the hollow cavity's in the guitar?

With a handful of trained termites you wouldn't need to split the top! ;)

the back is hollowed then the top is glued on. smae process whether it's a fancy top or plain, flat or contoured. the hollowing is different on the flat ones.
