Brass Bridges

[toejam]

My Fender's hardtail bridge also uses three screws like that.

There's no need for 5 screws, there isn't that much pressure on the bridge that it need that much holding pressure. Those plates were machined to the spec's of my Jake e Lee charvels brass bridge, so they are period correct

We always knew ~K~ had some brass ones.

Charvel sells the original hardtail brass bridge for $89.00. Michael Charvel stated they were made to the same specs by the same machine shop from the 70's. There is a 4 week lead time though.

Does that mean they are considered oem?

I don't know if they are considered OEM. I just called Michael Charvel at their number on their website. Just presented myself as "Joe Shmoe" and he gave me a price and delivery time. They have the original brass trem posted on their site also.

Is that the only to get one?

I recieved mine from Charvel about a week ago. I need to take it to the plater to get the base plate black chromed and the saddles chromed. I know brass is cheap, but the quality of this thing for $89.00 is really really nice. It will work very nicely on a strat with the 2-3/16 neck heel. This bridge has a 2.03125 string spread. Shouldn't have that somewhat common problem of the high E "falling off" the neck.

If I can order them direct from Fender/Charvel, what is the part number?

He's talking about Wayne Charvel's son, Michael Charvel. I guess you contact him through the Wayne Guitars website.
