I have tried several variations of the Stratocaster bridge and the vintage one sounds the best. It says on the Fender website that it was designed for sound with the bar arm on. I have tried it with and without the bar arm and it really does sound better with it on.

This is great. For the price, you can't beat it. It saved me from buying the parts individually and everything works perfectly together. Another home run for Sweetwater! Thanks again.

I have not installed the tremolo yet but the quality of the system seemed excellent, beautifully chromed and complete down to every last screw.

Genuine Fender American part. Good quality and solidly built. I prefer the 6-screw pivot rather than the 2-point modern style. It feels more solid and I think it sounds better. I am a luthier by trade and I build and repair stringed instruments. (by build I mean I get lumber and turn it into a guitar bodies and necks) I like these parts as they are very well made and small repair parts are easy to source should the need arise. The assembly comes with all the parts you need including a vintage style string tree and screw. If you want the vintage Fender bridge system and it needs to be authentic, this is the one.

building myself akiller strat, only the best will do.

It’s impossible to imagine a world without Fender guitars, and if you’re like many of the guitarists at Sweetwater, then Fender not only made the first guitar you ever bought " they made the last one too! From building the first mass-produced solidbody electric guitars and basses in the 1950s to creating some of the most influential amplifier designs in history, it’s no wonder why Fender is one of the biggest names in the business. As one of the world’s largest Fender dealers, we have countless guitars, basses, amps, effects pedals, and accessories in stock and ready to ship, whenever you need them. We’re always getting our hands on their latest creations, and there’s nothing we love more than to tell our customers all about them! So, whether you’re looking for your first axe or a Custom Shop creation, make sure to give your Sweetwater Sales Engineer a call at (800) 222-4700.
