Screw hole spacing for bridge

[JAMES C]

Hello all,
First post for me.
I am going to build a Standard Pbass. What I want to know is if the Gotoh 201 bridge screw spacing the small as a Fender Hi Mass bridge spacing when it comes to mounting the bridge to the body. I'm hoping that these two are a match so this way I can have Warmoth have the holes precisely in place.

Thanks

Hi James,welcome to the forum.

All these 4-string, 5 hole mount, non-through bridges should be interchangeable, but the specified mount hole spacing varies quite a bit.

The Gotoh 201B I have here looks to be 11/16" - close enough to the 17.5mm specified - though it's hard to measure it precisely as it has a P-Bass screwed to the back of it.

Have you got the bridge on hand? Safest bet is to get one and measure it.

It may be worth ringing Warmoth to see what they say, but there are so many variants out there they probably wouldn't commit without actually seeing the actual bridge.
