Hipshot bridge

[LushTone]

I'm planning on changing my bridge to a Hipshot fixed bridge. My main question is where they are made. I like to buy American products when I can. I heard Hipshot is American made, but does anyone know for sure? Also, has anyone had any issues with these bridges fitting in a Fender American Standard fixed bridge rout?

Cheers

They're American-made in New York state (Interlaken, about 20 miles North of Ithaca). There's an "about" page here if you want to read their history.

That's what I like to hear, thanks Cagey!  :headbang:

I'm probably just going to stick with the original components, but does anybody know if GraphTech makes compatible saddles?

I've built several using their bridges / tuners ... good stuff
