Did I Buy The Wrong Bridge?

[Blue Fin]

I have a standard Warmoth tele body routed for the vintage fender bridge.  Shoule I be using the bridge with the 2-1/8 or 2-1/16 string spacing?  Thanks.

56mm or 2-7/32"

Thanks but it's for a tele...not a strat.

2 1/8 I believe. What bridge did you buy?

I bought a Joe Barden TB-5140-001 which has the 2-3/16" spacing.  The TB-5141-001 has the 2-1/8 spacing.

You probably have the right one. The bodies Warmoth does are drilled for the vintage bridges, and it looks like that's what you chose.

Warmoth site says it's the 2-1/8"

That's the Gotoh bridge. This is a different company, but they should be made to fit the same holes.

He says Joe Barden builds one with 2-1/8" and one with 2-3/16", so I guess it's not the same...
