American Standard to Vintage Bridge Retrofit Kit.
At the request of Chris Kinman, we are producing a pivot system to allow the use of a vintage bridge on American Standard bodies that requires no modification to the guitar body. The kit replaces the factory pivot screws with a new stud that can be locked (unlocked) in place and we modified our hardened screws to thread into the stud and secure the bridge. If desired, the 4 additional pivots can be added into the body for maximum resonance. Kits are $55.00.

Note:  This change is NOT for everyone.

A factory Fender American Standard neck has the fret ends excessively beveled and unless the neck has been refretted, the strings will be right on the edge of the fret ends with a vintage spaced bridge. I suggest also the possibility of a new neck from USA Custom for an upgrade. If one of these two things has not been done, you will not be happy.

But those who have picked an American Standard body and plan to build a new guitar with it, this kit makes installing a vintage bridge easy.

At this time, this part is not listed anywhere else on our website.
