Hi induktor,

Your guitar has a two-point bridge (two screws), while the vintage style bridge has six screws. The original American Standard bridges ('86), as well as the modern, are all two-point and 2-1/16" string spacing and should be interchangeable. Up to 2007, the saddles have the offset intonation screws, and 2008 to present have the centered saddle intonation screws, but the two entire bridges are interchangeable with each other, just that the saddles and plates are different between the two as far as the holes for the intonation screws. As well, the pre-2008 used powdered steel block saddles, while the 2008 to present used the bent steel saddles similar to the vintage style.
