for my MIM and the dimensions are a little different than the block that's in there.

The original block is 2 7/8" x 9/16"

and the Callaham is 3" x 1/2"

Seems like it probably balances out but just wondering if that's correct or if they sent me the wrong size. Fits in the cavity just fine...

Thanks.

The Callaham is wider than the stock block, that's normal.

Good to know Shimi, thanks.

Had some extra gig money so I got the whole bridge assembly and everything. Just had to take off the springs in back, take six screws off the old one, pop the old one out, screw the new one in and put the springs back on.

Won't be able to put it through it's paces till later to hear it with the family sleeping and all, but looking forward to it!

I put one in my MIM too awhile back. Good improvement. When you order one you need to measure the string spacing where they come up through the saddles. MIM is different than American. Mine went right in and worked great
