Hi people,
I've been looking around and haven't found a template/info I'm looking for. I'd like to know the dimensions of the Wilkinson bridge top rout Warmoth offers. Their page showing the rout options only lists the stud spacing:
http://www.warmoth.com/Guitar/Bodies/Options/BridgeRoutingOptions.aspx
I have a no name body seemingly routed for a Fender American Standard and I have this bridge https://www.realparts.com.au/contemporary-2-point-fulcrum-bridge-chrome.html. I'm looking to enlarge the top rout a bit since it blocks the dive action of the floating bridge.
According to a plan I got from https://www.electricherald.com/fender-stratocaster-templates/ the Fender rout is 17mm x 80mm. I'd be curious to know if that's right too since my top rout is ~19.5 x 76.75mm and the sustain block cavity is ~30 x 79mm.
It has 8mm top overhang of rear of the sustain block cavity which I plan to reduce by hand and ~2.5mm overhang past the edge of the spring cavity. I see the Wilkinson rout has effectively 3 dimensions since it has 2 widths (lengths?) along the distance between the sides of the bridge.
Thanks
