I have a 1984 Fender Standard that is the two-knob variety with the jack flat on the face of the pickguard, and the non-routed body with the Free-Flyte bridge and tremolo system. It's one of those "depression era" strats, and I bought it brand new. I am looking for a replacement bridge for it since 20 years of sweat and abuse has corroded the E, A, and D adjustable bridge pieces to grey pot-metal, kind of like my old matchbox cars.

My guitar-guy said last time I brought it in for a tune-up that the bridge was barely adjustable anymore He offered to reroute the beast for a standard Strat tremolo system - :evil: EEEK :evil: - and then suggested I retire "mi vieja" after peeling my fingers from his larynx. :roll:

I would rather get a replacement bridge or get a machinist to create some replacement parts. Does anyone else have any ideas where I can get parts?

Thanks Chet.
I also perused the existing posts and found Graphtech.com may have a replacement for me.
