Great Bridge. Make sure you know what you're getting into.

The other guy is dead on. This thing stays in perfect tune. However, it comes with no instructions for installing it. You'll need a 3/8" drill bit for the holes and if you're upgrading from a standard 6-screw bridge like i did, working around those existing screw holes makes things tricky. I suggest thoroughly measuring where your peg holes need to go and realize that the slot for strings on the back may not ever line up with the bridge again in a mexican strat at least. If You're up for a challenge and aren't afraid to experiment I'd say give it a try. It took me about thirty minutes to install once i committed and anyone should be able to install this bridge w/ minimal trouble. Enjoy.

once again, Guitar Center let me down

Poorly pictured product with incorrect details. This bridge is great but not what I was looking for. I thought this was the pop-in american professional two point because the picture doesn't show threads on the trem arm. alas, this is the screw in version. so it will be returned.

    Sad to be writing this... but it is a very cheap replacement bridge (as low as Squire Bullet in my opinion). After inspecting this bridge I will NOT be installing this on my guitar. Bummer.

    New tremolo bridge from Fender works great, super improvemt over the original Squier bridge. Maintains authenticity of our Stratocaster while improving tone and stability of the instrument.

    10 times better bridge that I replaced. Cudos to Andy from GC in Cherry Hill, NJ, who installed and set up my Strat. This guy did a fantastic job. The guitar plays better than when I bought it new.
