So I read thru and followed links in the long thread about Strat tremolos
https://forum.fractalaudio.com/threads/recommend-a-replacement-tremolo-for-my-strat.164140/
Helped me but left some questions unanswered.
I am talking my 2006 USA Fender Deluxe Strat. Was special run for MF I think-the color..... Anyway the saddles are the block type, chrome plated I guess. But they have the off set screws, which I have hated for over a decade. Now in my later years I want to replace them with the center intonation screw saddles.
I know I have to change the whole tremolo assembly because the holes the intonation screws go thru are for offset screws. But that's OK.
Here is a picture, not great though. If I am measuring correctly, center of the 2 screws holding the bridge it's 2 3/16's.
Hope this all makes sense.
Why, you may ask? If you look close you will see the saddles are actually on an angle towards the top side of the guitar body. The neck is set correctly in the pocket. It's not the neck, it's the offset screws. Also, this is the pop in tremolo.
