    Installed this baby on my squire bullet strat. A little bit of a tight fit but has plenty of room to move around. Insatlation was very easy and was able to install it myself in about thirty minutes.

  • I would buy another

    I bought this to install in my '69 strat after I screwed in the arm too far a few years back and snapped off the screw end down in the block. This assembly fits great and looks great. The only objection I have, and it is a small one, is that the original tailpiece had two seperate pieces, the bridge plate and the inertia block. This one is one solid piece. Included was a small black spring which puzzled me at first...I slipped it into the arm hole then screwed in the arm. The spring gives resistance so the arm does not free swing and will prevent you from doing what I did, screwing the arm in too far and snapping off the screw end! If you have an older American strat this will fit perfect..comes with everything you see in the photo...including the little black spring!

    this is a great bridge,it really adds sustain to my Squire Strat CV-60...ALTHOUGH it does require some modifications,the mounting screw holes did'nt line up, I used some wood glue and toothpicks to seal the existing holes and re-drilled to the new pattern,without routing I STILL have plenty of tremolo play for my taste. I gave this product a 5-star rating just because it worked for me

    Probably but will likely need some modification. In a case like this we recommend having a qualified guitar tech look at the guitar

    Is this product compatible with either a Schecter Omen Extreme-FR Electric guitar or an OE30 Oscar Schmidt Hollow Body Electric guitar? my husband has several guitars also including: Fender CD-60CE Dreadnought Cutaway acoustic electric guitar, and I'm not sure which tremolo/whammy bar to get.

    No, this is the recreation of the 60's style and I believe the 80's style is the modern ones. Give us a call at 866-498-7882 and we can get you the right bridge.
