Hi everyone,
I'm looking to completely replace the bridge on my left hand mex strat as I am fed up with strings constantly breaking at the bridge. I have filed down the burs, applied lubricant etc and it is still happening. I'm sure if i keep trying I'll fix whatever the issue is, but I am at the point now where I think I should just buy a replacement.
Now the problem is being a left handed mexican strat the choice is extremely limited. I can't seem to find any direct Fender replacements so was looking at Wilkinson, which costs £39.99. The thing is I'm not even sure if these will fit my Strat.
http://www.jhs.co.uk/wilkinson.htmlCould any of you be so kind as to point me in other directions, or perhaps even make any recommendations? Obviously I'd like to spend as little as possible.
Thanks

As long as you get one of the Wilkinson Trems which have one round screw hole on and five slightly oblong shaped holes you should be OK.
The point of having the five semi slotted holes is to allow for the trem to fit bodies with different screw spacings.
Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

Callaham saddles are excellent, or there are other modern block shaped ones, depending on your fancy.

To the OP - assuming the strings keep breaking at the saddle it has to be worth trying a different set before switching the entire trem.
