Five stars all around! - This bridge came in today, and I just couldn't resist putting it in. The installation process gave me a nice hour-long study break. Yes, it took less than an hour from taking off the old strings to finishing up the intonation process, and it was a very easy process to complete. I can tell you one thing though, this is easily worth every penny. I have a Mexican Stratocaster Classic 70's Reissue that plays very well, but I was looking to get a bit more out of it tonally (to that end, I ordered a new set of pickups and this bridge). Without any other changes to the guitar, this bridge changed the sound completely for the better. The original trem block on the guitar was made of a different material—a much darker metal—than the new one, and I've read that it's probably zinc and not steel. Whatever it's made out of, the new tremolo system really brings out all the harmonics and nuances of the guitar. It made the sound so much more complex and rich. I would absolutely recommend this product for anyone who wants to get a bit more out of their Strat. I should also mention that I contacted Callaham to make sure I purchased the correct part. I received an e-mail from Bill Callaham (owner?) the next business day. The retailer, Chicago Music Exchange, sent the part and I received it a full week before the estimated delivery date. I can't be happier with the whole process involved in this purchase or the results I've had with the product. I will check in after the new strings break in a bit to update if there is a dramatic change. Update: Two Year’s later, and I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about my original review. I love the bridge, and I can honestly say that my Mexican strat could go head to head with any American strat out there. I’m actually in the process of upgrading a Mexican Jimmy Vaughn Strat, and I’m going to pick up another Callaham bridge, and I can’t wait to hear the results. Review: Great hardware! - Callaham makes great stuff. Just buy it chuckle head. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00AHKYUPY | | Best Sellers Rank | #88,961 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #1,146 in Electric Guitar Bridges & Bridge Parts | | Color Name | Nickel | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (14) | | Date First Available | December 4, 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 2 pounds | | Item model number | Cal-0449 | | Material Type | Alloy Steel, Nickel, Stainless Steel | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 6 x 8 inches | | Size | Small | ## Images ![Vintage S Model Strat Bridge Assembly - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nzTe4oE1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this fit a 2016 American Standard Stratocaster?** A: It will fit your American Strat as long as it has the classic 6 mounting hole type. It will not fit most newer American Strats with their 2-point pivot bridge found on some of the newest models. **Q: How long is the trem bar?** A: Same as a stock strat. **Q: Will this fit an Eric Johnson sig Strat?** A: Yes **Q: Will this fit a 2016 American Standard Stratocaster?** A: Probably not only vintage S models..... ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful product and fantastic customer service! Five stars all around! *by D***R on May 7, 2015* This bridge came in today, and I just couldn't resist putting it in. The installation process gave me a nice hour-long study break.

Just buy it chuckle head. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Nicely made. Short trem bar *by C***I on August 19, 2022* High quality manufacture. Oddly short trem bar and no way to adjust tension on the bar to keep it where it falls readily to hand. It’s either too tight and you have to push it away or too loose and it drops out of quick reach. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but my JPN strats have a tensioner that allows you to dial it in. That said, it’s pretty clear that nobody makes better hardware and chrome.
