Just eliminating: I believe the 50th Anni (Deluxe) and the Sambora both should have the Micro-Tilt™.

The pics are quite small; there seems to be some stamp in the neck pocket but not readable.
To tell you the truth, I'm a bit dubious on this body.

(BTW, why wouldn't one need the micro tilt on a vintage bridge..?)

Because the micro tilt functions as a neck shim for the two-point tremolo.
You can heighten the whole bridge and adjust the neck to fit.

On the original Strat design with the vintage 6 screw, height is fixed. The neck-body height ratio was more or less dealt with in the design process. Therefore the shim is not that of an necessity.

I know there were some quirky models in the seventies that had tilt and standard bridges. Why? I don't know. There are many inconsistencies through the CBS decades. But were canceled in the late 70's.

You may need shim or micro tilt in any guitar. Nothing to do if you use two or six screws tremolo
