Hi, I have a Strato Mex MZ1 (2001). I have to replace the tremolo bridge cause it's rusty, even the saddles and screws. What kind of tremolo bridge can I use? I don't have any specs of my guitar, i'm really interested to find them but i don't know where. Thanks

MIM Strats from that era employ one of two bridges, both of them "vintage style". One features the so-called "modern" string spacing of 2-1/16" while the other has the original-spec 2-7/32" spacing. Measure your existing bridge and proceed from there.

Ooooo lovely, authentic, 16 year old rust. Leave it well alone and just clean the seat of the saddle where the strings touch.

You could apply some light oil to halt further rusting.

Hello, photo of different vibrato Strat:

Note, Classic MiM Series have great space and Standart Mim are smaller.
The Classic Players Mim have the modern 2 points
