I own a Deluxe Players Strat which has a gold Vintage Fender bridge with the 6 wide screw spacing and wide string spacing. I need to find a bridge that will fit the wide screw holes, but will give me a more narrow 2 1/16 string spacing. I have found one bridge that will work, and it comes in gold to match my guitar. It is the Super-Vee Uni-mount Blade Runner. It is expensive though, $200. I would appreciate any suggestions for other bridges that will fit my guitar and give me a more narrow string spacing, either a trem bridge or a hard tail.

Super V write their bridge is 2.1 " strings spacing.
2.1" is 1/32" more than 2 1/16 " if I'm right.

Thanks, even more reason to find an alternative bridge to the blade runner.

You really need narrower strings spacing ?
Lots of experience in playing guitar ?

Try the Callaham VN bridge (Vintage narrow). It has the vintage 2-7/32" (sometimes referred to as 2-3/16") mounting screws, but with 2-1/16" string spacing. This will be a drop in replacement for your guitar. I would get the entire bridge, saddles and block, for a sonic improvement.

I don't think that Callaham offers anything in gold.

That bridge is available in gold. However, it features the same string spacing as the OP's existing bridge and thus offers no benefit beyond the steel trem block.

I am pretty sure the Highway 1 tremolo is Vintage spaced mounting screws with Narrow string spacing. I put one on before as my high e was falling off the fretboard on a strat I had. The part number I installed was 0072290000. That was a chrome but I believe it was available in gold. May have to hit Reverb or Ebay as I think Fender does not have any longer.
