The mounting screw spacing and string spacing on the two images posted above is the same. One is in mm and one is in inches. 56mm = 2.2 inches. One rounds them off, the other doesn't. They are the same thing.
I have two of those Gotoh trems. One is pushing 30 years old on my old Frankenstrat and the other is a year or two old on a Warmoth Strat. I was very pleased to see that the new one is the same quality as the old one. Dropped right on without any issues. Solid bridge. If that's what you want, you can't go wrong with it. When I did the Warmoth build, I went with the same hardware as my old on purpose and was very pleased with the result. I struck gold with how the old one sounds and plays and sure enough, I struck gold again.
You can find the same trem at Warmoth for a heck of a lot less. Same dimensions, same big trem block. That's where I ordered mine from.

Thanks,
I found a GE 101T in a European site that I have used before. Itīs not as cheap as Warmoth but a little cheaper than StewMac and shipping would be way less.
Itīs a site that seems to have a mix of crap and quality stuff and without a lot of technical specs, so itīs difficult to tell if youīre not sure exactly what youīre looking at.

Gotoh Traditional Tremolo for Strat
The most popular tremolo in the world. This is the bridge that has more players warbling, bending, and slurring notes than any other trem on the planet.
...and if they are good quality units?
My Charvel Model 1A has a Gotoh vintage trem that's very similar if not identical to the GE-101. I'm planning to swap it to a 510 for the pop-in arm, but I can't decide if I want narrow or vintage string spacing. I'm definitely going with the zinc block as I don't care for steel with a basswood body.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener. Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
