Q: What guitars are these American Vintage Stratocaster Bridge Saddles compatible with?

These saddles are designed for American Vintage series Stratocasters and other Fender models that use a 2-7/32" (56.36mm) string spacing. They are ideal for restoring or upgrading vintage-style Strat bridges. Always check your guitar's bridge measurements to ensure a perfect fit, especially for non-Fender or modern Stratocaster bridges, as spacing can vary.

Q: What material are these saddles made from, and how do they affect my guitar's tone?

These American Vintage Stratocaster Bridge Saddles are crafted from bent steel, a key component in achieving the classic Stratocaster sound. This material contributes to the instrument's bright, articulate attack and enhances sustain. They help deliver that authentic vintage Fender tone, providing clarity and resonance that many players seek.

Q: Why should I consider replacing my Stratocaster's bridge saddles with these American Vintage ones?

Replacing your saddles can significantly impact your guitar's performance and tone. These American Vintage saddles are perfect for restoring the original sound of a vintage Strat, replacing worn or corroded saddles that affect intonation and sustain, or upgrading a modern Strat to achieve a more authentic vintage feel and sound. They help ensure proper string vibration and tuning stability.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

Note: While Certified Open Box items from Fender do not include the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation warranty, you can shop with confidence knowing that this item is backed and covered by Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:

2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!

The Allen screw sticks up and eats into your palm. I love Sweetwater but StuMack has a better choice

Replacing parts for an old Squire from Indonesia in the 80's. Have already replaced the small import pots with 3 of the Standard 250k pots, and noiseless pickups. Thought it would be nice to give a new look to the bridge saddles. They seem to be off by just a little bit, the strings do not sit right in the middle of the saddles. But this is probably because it is a Squire bridge plate and not an American standard. My fault for not observing this in the description of item. Squire with original saddles measurement 2 3/8, ...Vintage saddles measurement 2 1/2, Approximate distance between strings on Import bridge plate 3/8 inch. The American standard bridge plate must have larger circumference holes, or spaced out differently then the import.

The holes in the end of the saddles were inconsistent, some centered, some not. I expected better craftsmanship from Fender, especially since these are made in America. Sent them back.

The intonation screws are so tight they don't turn. The screw head is so soft the they were destroyed trying to set the intonation. I'm going to have use vice-grips to get them out. Can't send them back now.The allen screws are so small and short, the string height is too low.This is a American Strat that sets up perfectly.These are MIM and not the same as older MIA saddles as far as I can tell. They are useless to me.

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.
