Fender '62 Reissue Stratocaster Tremolo Bridge Review

I purchased this to replace the soft-metal cast bridge in my '72 Fender Strat (that I have owned for 38yrs) as it developed string scores in the saddles. I also wanted to experience first hand differences in this guitar with this 'vintage-style' steel bridge recommended by sites devoted to strat issues. Here are my comments:

1) Poor finish on the parts, visually not fitting a 'fine' instrument. Saddle edges rough, bent (shear cut artefacts) - see 2nd product photo Genuine Fender Replacement Saddles For Stratocaster- you may find a bit worse than that too. I consider it cheaply made, wherever it was.

2) This bridge block is 1.700" high, whereas my original bridge block is 1.620". Unfortunately, on my old guitar, even though the new bridge block itself fits, after attaching the spring claws into the block all the way in, the back cover of the guitar is lifted up by 1/32" - so the new bridge doesn't fit in this guitars body (which has never been modified in any way, original finish). I fixed this by recessing the spring claws into the block with a Dremel tool.

The most important thing - the sound? Well, I think it *is* better! Basic sustain seems to be the same. It is the colour of the sound that may be a bit brighter, clearer - but I doubt you would notice this much difference in a 'live' band environment, especially if you use any effects (I don't)

So I give it just OK because of the above mechanical issues.
