Narrow Spaced Strat Hardtail...Can it Accommodate 52mm String Spacing?

[Cactus Jack]

In reviewing the hardtail Strat bridge drill options, the Narrow Spaced Strat option appears to be the most flexible. String spacing is 54mm, however I'm wondering if it could accommodate 52mm string spacing. Specifically, I'm thinking through a Strat TV Jones build, however the pickups are designed for 52mm. I believe Callaham makes a vintage mount bridge with 52mm spacing, but I'm not sure if the strings would pass through the body correctly. Of course I could get the American Standard option, but that almost feels as limiting at the Vintage option. The Narrow Spaced seems like it may be the best of both worlds.

Any thoughts?

Why do you feel the American Standard option is limiting? That will give you what you want; 52mm.

Callaham's Am Standard spacing is 52mm, as Logrinn mentioned. Their vintage spacing is wider, I think 55.5 mm.

I'm liking the narrower bridges and the wider necks.  As for the pups as as long as at least a portion of the string is over a magnet your good to go.
