Trying to figure out which bridge to purchase... I have a Hwy1 body with a 60's reissue Mex neck. So far I've noticed 3 different spacings....

Hwy1 (2,3/32)
USA (2,3/16)
Mex (2,1/8)

What should I be looking for?

Thanks

If your Highway 1 body uses the 6-screw 2-7/32" bridge, you'll need the vintage-spec trem unit -- Fender P/N 0992049000.

Yes, it's the vintage 6 screws. So the neck doesn't factor into the spacing?

No.

String spacing is entirely a function of the bridge.

For the US and Mex Strats, there are really only the two spacings, 2-1/8" and 2-7/32". Sometimes the 2-7/32" will be referred to as 2-3/16". There is no 2-3/32".
