Odd Tremolo Stud Spacing...Please Help

[itbepopples]

I have a Strat style body with odd bridge stud placements. I measured from center to center of the stud holes (the inserts were not in the body when i received it) and it measured 62 mm.

I've looked around for a two pivot tremolo with spacing in that range and came up with 2 offerings from Wilkinson...so far that's the only company I've found that has stud spacing anywhere near what I need. I dig the way the stud spacing is variable but one tremolo is adjustable from 50mm 60mm and the other from 63mm to 66mm. Which one should I go for to try and accomodate the strange 62mm spacing?

If anyone knows of a tremolo with 62mm stud spacing please let me know!

This wouldn´t perchance be a Jackson JS-Series body or similar, or?? That´s the only place I´ve ever seen a 62mm stud spacing, and I´ve never found a replacement bridge for that size either......

I have no idea where the body came from. So you're saying I won't find a replacement bridhe for it? Should I just fill in the holes and start again?

I´d keep looking, but I definitely wouldn´t look forever..... Chances are you´ll have to plug and redrill.....

But if you find something that retrofits, PLEASE tell me
