Schecter Custom-5 Upgrade Question

I picked up a custom 5 with the s-tek bridge. I'm not really feeling the gold hardware, so I'm looking for black hardware. I'm looking for something that I can bolt directly up without drilling or modifying. I found a couple of bridge sets on Amazon that LOOKED like the s-tek style, but I'm not sure how to tell if it's a direct swap. Same goes with the knobs and tuners. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
tuners should be no problem to swap out. Hipshot makes 1/2, 3/4 or whatever else fits your fancy. the 3/4s should be a simple swap, no drilling or filling. the knobs its even easier, just pry the current knobs off and put on the new. don't rip out the potentiometers though....
I'm not sure about the bridge though, you could also possibly order one from s-tek that is black? or even hipshot might have something similar.
