Swapped Fender American STD bridge out for Hipshot nickle.

[Spud]

Thru holes lined up perfectly, but had to plug and re-drill screw holes as they were slightly off. Intonates perfectly.

That’s handsome

 

[Strat Avenger]

But why?

 

[Spud]

But why?

Uh because it is "the best hardtail bridge on the market, bar none".

'Really not seeing it. It's nice though.

 

[Spud]

'Really not seeing it.

That’s ok, I am positive that you are unable to see a great many things, and you often feel bewildered and a bit frustrated. We are here for you .

Man, this chrome pickups thing starts to grow on me. I'm thinking of my future bass (I think I talk about it a little too much, but anyways...), and I'm between a 80s flashy color with black pickguard and hardware, and a black body, cream pickguard and chrome hardware and pickups. Class!!

Your guitar looks super classy!

I did this back in 2010. I asked W, and got no help.

I had to find the numbers myself.

Its been a while, but I think only the 2 outside mounting holes were just a hair off. I screwed the middle ones in first, then the outside ones. No drilling needed

Its been a solid performer for 16 years now.

It is up there for hardtail bridges. I like the fancy gotoh one too.
My all time fave is the ibanez tite end and tite end r.

Locking saddles and smooth to the touch. They sound good too. Made by gotoh.

Uh, those are clearly not nickel knobs. You're on notice pal.

Also, +100 for a hard tail SSH and an extra +27 for the S's being lipsticks.

They are a newer miracle alloy called aluminum!

I love that stuff. It's always just a little bit lighter than the British stuff without that extra 'i' weighing things down.
