Musiclily Ultra 56mm(2-7/32 inch) American Vintage Style 6-Screw ST Tremolo Bridge with Modern Brass Saddles 42mm Solid Brass Block Push-In Arm for Strat Style Electric Guitar

Looks great and the quality and performance matches Fender made bridges that are much more expensive.It did arrive with the inside of the box oddly ripped (see photo) and the bridge not secured (as it if had been repackaged). However, it was not damaged. Knocking off 1 star for bad packaging.

This bridge compares very favorably with an original Fender bridge. The high-mass brass block is actually more substantial than the block on Mexican Strats, and even many American Strats. The adjustment of each individual saddles works exactly like Fender bridges, so you can intonate and adjust exactly like you are used to doing with Strats. Everything about this bridge is worth more than the price.I am a fan now... I build a lot of guitars and I will update this review when I put this one in a build. The review above is based upon my experience with other bridges and the build quality of this one. I don't foresee any issues with this bridge, but I will update if there is anything that comes up.

This bridge is an upgrade over the six point bridges that come on on the now defunct standard series MIM Strats. Some say that a brass block offers a brighter tone than the one on the OEM. I don't know if I can tell a difference in tone, but I can tell that this bridge has a slicker and nicer finish. The saddles have a grainy finish like PRS type saddles and function smoothly. The primary reason I wanted this was because of the push in tremolo arm which is what you get with the American Professional series. I have both an American Professional and a MIM and the threads in MIM screw in trem arm are constantly wearing, preventing it from staying where I want which periodically requires me to put a few wraps of teflon tape on the arm to maintain it's position. I've owned my American Professional for five years and have never experienced an issue with the push in trem arm. The Musiclily has what looks to be a delrin sleeve inside the hole which should keep the arm in place. The overall quality looks to be very good. I've always had good success with Musiclily parts and don't expect this bridge assembly to fail me. It does not come with a plastic arm tip.

This bar fits 1990s Fernandes (I think mine is an LE-2 by internet model names) , right out of the box, if anybody is wondering. No issues whatsoever there.1 star off, here, on the rating, for the bar being just one smooth surface, without any grooves for the set-screw (that means it can or will tend to migrate up and down with use).Other than that, very satisfied: solid brass block, whole assembly feels rock solid, plenty of extra springs and grubs, and 2 claw types. Really everything is perfect *except* the lack of grooves in the trem arm.
