Hey,

I just bought a year 2000 strat that is a 1957 reissue. What type of tremolo cover should it have? It came with an aged plastic looking one that doesn't have any holes for the strings to come through. Pretty unhandy for changing strings, so I removed it. Just wondering what it would have come with from the factory. Perhaps this is the correct one?

thanks,
Vern

If your referring to the 'backplate" cover for the block routing, it should have 6 individual small elipse shaped holes at that vintage. The '54's were round.
Some current models have a long 'racetrack' shaped opening with no partitions.

The 'bridge cover' lovingly dubbed the 'ashtray', does not have any holes and is made of steel. The strings run forward, under the cover, across the saddles to the tuner.
