Bridge spacing for jb jr and lil 59

[archaikz]

Im building a new strat and im not sure what kind of bridge to get to match the spacing of these pickups. I wan't it to be exact. Im wondering if this will do http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges.../1/Traditional_Tremolo_for_Strat.html#details

Warmoth has 2 fender like bridges im looking at too. One says its more traditional spacing and the other says its closer to gibson spacing. I know gibson spacing is alot tighter so i'm guessing thats not the one but I just have to make sure. Just need to know what to look for. Thanks for any help.

That would work, but even better is the '62 RI bridge from Fender. Same one that's used in the Fender Custom Shop. You can order one from Allparts or I try to keep them in stock...although I am out of them at the moment.

I did test the '62 Reissue against some Japanese Gotoh trems that looks exactly the same and found that the Gotoh trems weigh less and do not sound quite as solid or deep.

Go for the Fender '62 Reissue for the best tone.
