Hi All.

I've bought that guitar brand new back in 2004 in local shop. Maybe year after I found that it has wider string spacing and bigger sustain block that standards of that time haven't. Actually it is the same bridge as mexican classic series and usa made HWY1 guitars have.

Does anybody seen any standart with that bridge? It was factory fault or there was some amount of them made that way.

I was wondering, maybe It's just Classic series body with standard neck and accesories. Are there any calssic series bodies in 3 tone sunburst? Is there any difference beetwen classic series and standart series body?

Here are some photos of my guitar:

You can see bigger sustain block and wider string spacing. Guitar was '03, there weren't such block in normal standards until 2006.

Guitar plays great, and I like "normal" wider spacing than usual mim standards.

Is that bridge interchangeable with USA made Vintage Bridge or not? I think about changing string saddles because they are worn a little and I know that these American are just better.

Now It's my project guitar and I've changed this many parts. Only neck and body now seems to be like original MIM standart. But who cares. That guitar rocks!

Has anyone else seen my model with that bridge? Was this a factory mistake or were others intentionally made this way?

Is there any difference between the Classic Series and the Standard Series bodies?

You can see the bigger sustain block and wider string spacing. The guitar is an '03; this block wasn't a stock item in Standards until 2006.

The guitar plays great and I like the, "normal", wider spacing of this block better than the usual MIM Standards' block spacing.

Is my bridge interchangeable with the USA Vintage Bridge? I am thinking about changing the string saddles because they are a little worn and I know that the American ones are better.

Now, it is my project guitar and I've changed many parts on it. Only the neck and body are the original MIM Standard components. But who cares? This guitar rocks!
