Default Change the adjustable bridge on a 1966 Gibson J-50?

Hi everybody,
I just got a 1966 Gibson J-50 which is a cool old guitar. It sounds pretty good right now but I've heard changing to a standard bridge with a bone saddle can increase the volume and give better tone. Makes sense by reducing the weight and having the string vibrations going more directly to the top the volume and tone should improve.
Any experience with this? Know of anybody that is really good at doing it?
Thanks for your input.
