This rout increases the depth under the back end of the bridge only, allowing a greater range of motion when pulling up on the bar. It does not encompass the entire tremolo unit, or allow it to be recessed into the body. The tremolo unit must be set up at the normal height.
-
Bridge mounts on two studs. Warmoth can install the bridge studs for just $10.00.

Vintage Style Strat® - String through holes only
For other odd hardtail bridges when the string holes are in the standard Strat® position. By aligning on these, you may drill mounting holes to mate with your bridge.

The mounting holes are identical to the vintage flat mount bridge, but the string through holes are drilled larger.

This pattern fits the three vintage-style Tele® bridges that Warmoth sells, as well as the modern-style standard and humbucker Tele® bridges we sell. It will also fit most other vintage-style "ash tray" Tele® bridges, but as always: you must measure to be sure.
