I am working on a project guitar, which had a low budget but functional trem bridge that was chrome. This bridge is of the same quality, but with a black finish. I have no complaints about the finish. I was reluctant to buy it because one of the reviews mentioned the paint scratching off easily, as if it were just cheaply spray painted. I tried scratching the paint with a screw driver on the under side of the bridge just to make sure the paint wouldn't flake off easily, and it was fine. Of course, it will scratch off like even the best luxury car paint, but it's definitely not anything substandard in that way.For the fit, it was a direct replacement for the screw holes of the original bridge I was replacing, but I did need to route out a larger hole in the guitar to allow the bridge to travel because he underside where the bridge meets the trem block was a bit different than my original. That was mildly annoying, but I took care of it within 20 minutes because I luckily had a trim router and the right router bit for the job. I then painted over the bare wood from were I did the routing out. I can't say if this would be needed for another guitar, but I wanted to mention I needed it for mine, so that might be worth considering if you aren't sure you are able to do that kind of modification.This is definitely not the kind of quality you can expect from a Floyd Rose, but I'd say it's about equal to the quality of the trem bridges that come on Squire stratocasters or similar low budget style with the screw in trem bar. So I rate it 5 stars for the low price and matching low expectations.
