Bingo.
"Vintage Style" just means it has 6 screws and bent saddles, even though the late 70s used Zamak/Mazak block saddles.

Get a steel rule and measure your screw spacing across the pivots and intonation adjusters and buy the part that matches.

Got it. That was kind of my point. I knew I didn't have Vintage Spacing, but maybe Vintage Style would work. Anyhow, I have the 2 1/16 string spacing and 2 1/16 screw spacing. I'm be getting a Callahan steel block with standard size tremolo bar that will be a bit larger than my MIM bar. Should be pretty sweet.

I find it curious as to why Fender doesn't list the specs to their parts on their shopping website.

Thanks for all the advice. I see most of the same ole profiles here from years back. I haven't posted much but I used to read the forums often. Nice to see a strong community here.
