Hi all,

I've just bought a Candy Apple Red 1997 Mexican Powerhouse Strat body off ebay for a project to build a new, more authentic Gilmour Red Strat (with EMG's).

It's literally just the body so I need to know what size bridge to buy - is it the same size as in my 2005 Mexican Standard? I am looking at Fender branded and Callham or Wilkinson and will be keeping the vintage style (6 screw) with rolled saddles. I'll also want a better block - probably a steel one.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Mark

The Deluxe Powerhouse Strat is equipped with the vintage-spec trem bridge with 2-7/32" string spacing. The MIA unit with steel trem block is a drop-on fit.

Thank you!

You wouldn't have a link to it would you?

You'll find these bridge kits from a number of different Ebay vendors.
