dawnofzion Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 (edited) i am trying to find a bridge to fit my old squier 1 bullet. It had a 2 post style tremolo on it before. I trashed it because it was crappy. now I can't find one that will fit it. On the guitar, The measurement from center to center on the two posts is 55mm. and the wilkinson that i had planned on getting for it measured 56.8mm from center to center on the 2 post. the only other 2 post bridge i found was 51mm between the post. also i noticed that the holes in my guitar are really small compared to the post that go in with the wilkinson. the holes are 5mm and the post are 10mm. I wonder if I would have to hollow out the holes some more to make the wilkinson fit?? any suggestions on a bridge that will fit??

crafty Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 The Wilkinson will probably work just fine--the treble side pivot is designed to accomodate posts that aren't quite on center. At worst you can just fill the holes and redrill anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLOAD Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 um, just a question, the pins for the wilkinson shouldnt be 10mm, thats bloody huge. i have wilkinson pins on my guitar and they are only 6mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crafty Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'm willing to bet that the Wilky will work fine on the posts you already have on the guitar. If it doesn't, redrill the holes for the Wilky studs. The bridge was designed to be a direct replacement for the American Strat and most other two-point bridges, even those with stud spacing that doesn't quite match the Wilk's specs.
