Great little bridge, has vintage mount spacing.
This is a great vintage bridge, probably my favorite at this price range (even better than a lot of higher priced bridges).
Something important to note, this bridge has vintage spacing for the mounting screws as well as wider spacing on the saddles than most modern Strats (including most imports & Squiers).
If you're shopping for bridges for a vintage style body with either 2-7/32" or 2-3/16" spacing (those two measurements seem to be used interchangeably for some reason), then this is for you. Otherwise it won't fit and you'll have serious mount alignment issues even if you do manage to rig it up somehow.
Like I said, this goes for most modern Fender Strats, Squires and import strats which mostly have 2 1/16" mount spacing (unless it's a "vintage" model, which might have the wider spacing).
I've attached an image from Callaham that might help with measurements.Read full review...

Nice but not usable as is.
It would be five stars if Fender (Or whoever is producing these for Fender) hadn't decided to change the intonation springs to some that are too short, with fewer winds and don't work. When the guitar is intonated with the short springs installed they are loose and rattle. I had to replace mine with the correct ones. This is not cool or acceptable for a brand new "original" part. It might not happen with all Strats but I checked mine (5) and it would be a problem on all of them. On some yes, the short springs would work on the 5th and 6th strings but that's it. All so Fender can save some tiny fraction of a penny on each. Read full review...

Great unit for the money --- recommended (if you take my advice) :)
A good project / replacement unit, but don't plan on giving it a "RITCHIE BLACKMORE WORKOUT" or it will strip out fast. The threading is weak, but if used in moderation and not manhandled, it will get the job done without any problems. Also, if you want to install it on a thinner guitar body, like a 1- 1/2 thick Squier body, the block hacksaws off easily. (If you do this, I recommend not cutting more than a 1/4" off or the bottom-side of the trem springs will hit the wood inside the cavity, interrupting tremolo performance). I know... I do this alot.Read full review...

Heavy, nice!!!
Won’t fit my version but it’s my fault. That said buy it if it fits! It weighs triple what my stock bridge comes in at.

1982 Dan Smith Stratocaster
Fits perfectly on my 1982 Dan Smith Stratocaster. Sounds way more better than the old MAZAK bridge. Now I can adjust the intonation in perfect pitch also.

Surprising how much better quality than an import.
Fit and finish are vastly superior to import copies. The difference is apparent from the 1st moment you unwrap it. Nice to see bent saddles with Fender on them instead of die cast saddles.
Perfect fit on US or Mex strat, but the screw placements are slightly different than say an import Squier, however...it's worth a few minutes of easy woodwork for the upgrade in quality. Read full review...

A good product BUT
READ the description. I fits MIM CLASSIC ( 50’s 60’s) not Standards. Fortunately I have an appropriate body. Other than that, well made, official Fender part. No complaints

Beautiful piece
What a BEAUTIFUL piece this is! Replacing a cheap knock off vintage style bridge with this one and the difference in quality could not be more apparent. Filled and re-drilled mounting holes and the fit is perfect. Buy this before they are out!Read full review...
