I have a two pickup strat (neck and bridge) that I only need one tone knob for. I was trying to decide what to do with the other tone knob and thought about adding a bass roll-off. G&L has a PTB (passive treble bass circuit) that does this, but I'm wanting to keep the treble tone control closer...

Yeah, I realize it will be different. Figure I will give it a try and if I don't like it, I'm just out the cost of a bridge and can do the 54mm mod.

I think I'll try a vintage bridge first and see how I like it. My other guitars are modern 2-1/16 spacing, so I was just thinking I'd try and make this closer to them, but maybe I will like the vintage spacing - who knows. If not, I'll get the 54mm vintage mount bridge and enlarge the holes...

Thanks for the advice! Here's a pic Rick asked for. I don't have a bridge on yet.

I have a body I like that is already drilled for vintage mount hardtail and hard tail string spacing. I think I’d prefer a little narrower, and saw that Warmoth and Wudtone make hardtail bridges for vintage mount with 54mm string spacing. I’d have to widen the string through holes from 1/8” to...

Couple more questions: 1. Are the dimensions of the standard rear route available anywhere? Specifically the diameter? Trying to figure out if an ilitch will fit and if so, what size (17.5” vs 19”) 2. Is it possible and would it make sense to have both a front and rear route on a tele? It...

Thanks! Sounds like I don’t need to request anything special then. I’ll select “rear route” on the body order form.

I need a nonstandard rear route for a Tele body. See attached pic for example of what I want. Does Warmoth have pictures of their rear route options anywhere? By email they said to request a "bean" route, but I'd like to see what that would look like. Thanks!

That is gorgeous! Is the body satin or gloss? Looks gloss, but just curious.

Thanks stratamania! That looks like what I need!

Hardtail.I should have specified that I found this: https://hipshotproducts.com/products/6-string-hardtail-guitar-bridge But Im not sure it will fit a Warmoth routing. It also looks like a slightly wider than 2-1/16 string spacing, but is probably close enough playability wise. Just not sure...

Hello, I'm planning to build strat style guitar with ilitch noise cancelling system, and it was recommended to use an all steel bridge. Most of the strat bridges I am seeing have brass plates or do not say what material. Any recommendation on a bridge with 2-1/16" spacing that will fit a...
