Edrick Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Someone gave me a banged up guitar body that I'm going to use to build my first guitar. I'm looking at this more as a learning experience than an intention to build the best guitar. The body takes a strat-style neck which I already have. But I haven't been able to figure out what style or brand the body is to help match up other components with. Specifically, I can't figure out what kind of bridge will work with it. It looks like it probably had a tremolo style bridge in it but the dimensions don't match any designs I've seen. I'm hoping someone here may recognize it or have some ideas. The hole is 2-3/4" front to back and 2-1/2" top to bottom. The screw holes are 2-7/8" top to bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightroExpress Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 That almost looks like a Kahler mount.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessejames Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Looks kinda like they routed for a tele bridge pickup just......not well. Looks like a chinese made thing. Kinda like a Kahler mount but missing the front tab route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Could also be something along the lines of a Fender Jazzmaster tremolo, but again it's missing the little tab route on the forward edge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 That little tab is only needed if you have the knob that slides for dive-only vs full floating. My issue with saying this is a JM trem route is that it's just too close to the neck. Where does the scale length line come to on this thing? That would help here.
