Product Description
Fender's Pure Vintage parts are made using the same tooling and machinery as the original-era Fender parts whenever possible. Whether you're customizing, modifying, or restoring your classic Fender instrument or amp, this is the best way to keep its proud heritage and period-correct accuracy. Features include intonation springs, Phillips head intonation screws, hex saddle height adjustment screws, a tremolo block, bridge plate, tremolo springs, tremolo claw, tremolo arm and tension springs, tremolo tip, and all mounting hardware. It's completely retooled to vintage specs for a crisp and clean look and feel. Each saddle is stamped with 'Fender Pat. Pend.' The bridge block is pre-tapped for a 3-16 threaded tremolo arm. It has 2-7/32' (2.220') mounting and string spacing and was used on American Vintage '56, '59, and '65 Stratocaster guitars.
Using this Fender Pure Vintage Stratocaster Tremolo Assembly is easy. First, make sure you have all the parts listed in the features: intonation springs, screws, tremolo block, etc. When installing, carefully follow the correct order of attaching each part. For the tremolo arm, since the bridge block is pre - tapped, just screw it in gently. When adjusting the saddle height with the hex screws, do it little by little to get the right string action. As for maintenance, keep the assembly clean. You can use a soft cloth to wipe it down regularly to prevent dust and dirt from building up. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the finish. And if you're not using the tremolo arm for a long time, it's a good idea to store it in a safe place to prevent it from getting bent or damaged.
