Genuine 62 Fender Tremolo As you can see, again I plumped for the Fender part.

This is a Fender 62 reissue tremolo. The specifications are exactly 62 so this was another of the criteria for this choice.

I wanted to get the real deal vibe, so what better than the real thing. The saddles on this unit are marked the same as the original saddles. I am not sure if this was a replacement for a custom shop model, but the tremolo is exacting in the accuracy of the specs.

Exactly what I wanted.

I don't use the tremolo on any strat as I would say on an Ibanez - that's a whole different ball game.

The standard tremolo I felt was cool - and as you can see from the pic on the right the look was perfect.

I opted for chrome finish, rather than trying to obtain multiple gold parts that usually fade and wear badly.

Fitted Tremolo Unit
Tremolo_installed_in_body_1 Around the back of the body you can see the other detail of the tremolo.

It's just a run of the mill tremolo unit, but this one works... checkout the issues I had when installing the unit on the body later on down the road and you will see this was no piece of cake.

Having said that - you could do this too - it's not that hard.

If you want to use a different tremolo or even setup as a hard tail strat no problem. All of the options are available on the internet. Warmoth do a great job, but there are many other makers out there to choose from.

You're calling the shots - so make your choice and find the components - it's that easy.
