Replacing Strat bridge

BobHillman

I'm replacing the bridge on my MIJ Strat, as the trem block has cracked. I have a Wilkinson WPV6 which should be straightforward to fit, the only thing I 'm not sure about is how tight the six fixing screws should be set.

Screw down until the heads touch against the baseplate. Back off by a quarter of a turn. Do this even if you intend to block off the vibrato bridge.

Many thanks!
