jeremyp Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 I found an old american strat style tremolo bridge laying around my house and I'm curious to know what kind it is. Its about a 2 1/4 string spacing 2 3/4 between the center of the posts and about 1 3/4 deep block. sorry bout the bad pics but i think you get the idea.

Moth Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 due to the 2 point trem design, I'd say this is an early 2k Ibanez or Squire... Probably not USA made. Very nicely groomed nails btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyp Posted March 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 haha i was just saying its similar to the style of the american strat tremolo(at least thats what i gathered from my research) but yeah, def not american made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(in millimetres if u can) btw, what's that white stuff hanging off of the saddles? :/ Edited March 13, 2010 by ~davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fliski Guitars Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 The saddles look like the ones I had on a MIM Fender strat, but that was a 6 point vintage trem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedishLuthier Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 what's that white stuff hanging off of the saddles? :/ Looks like the insulation from vintage style cloth insulated wires. I have seen PVC insulation used to prevent string breakage at the sadles (SRV used it). Pull some insulation of a wire, slide it over the sring all the way to the ball, and if the length of the insulation is right it will look sometning like in the picture I've never tried it myself thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba Pa Ti Posted March 13, 2010 Report Share Posted March 13, 2010 looks like a squier 2 point trem to me, could be a mim one but the ones ive seen have vintage spacing at the saddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremyp Posted March 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 it actually appears to be felt like. the spacing is 52mm i believe from the center of saddle 1 to 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~davie Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 (edited) it actually appears to be felt like. the spacing is 52mm i believe from the center of saddle 1 to 6 that means its got a saddle width of 10.4mm, which indicates that this is IMPORT specification. though the small-sized tremolo block is probably a dead giveaway already. lol honestly.. this bridge could be from anything.. any number of random guitars out there.
