It's too far back, I think it will intonate just, but the block sits on the side of the cavity and there is a 5mm gap between the bridge and pickguard.
It's 4-5mm out of whack. Do I just fill the holes with wood and glue and redrill to depth and widen the rout? No problems with screws moving as there might be with Floyd posts moving etc as it's a 6 screw V trem?
Did any genuine 60's Strats have badly positioned bridges? If it was a popular feature I might leave it eh...

I think it's a Fernandes body. It's old and Poly, but cracked and yellowed all over the place. I like it. Also Basswood I reckon.
Trem rout and fitting is 5mm out of whack, too far back. Also I fitted a USA Trem, so it's probably the bigger block hitting. But doesn't help with the 5mm potentials intonation issues.
I don't care if I ruin it. I guess the best think to do is rout 7mm extra off the block rout, bung up the holes and redrill using an old trem or wooden block for alignment?
