Squier bridge material

drshock · 05-01-2007, 06:06 PM

Does anyone know what kind of metal Squier Strat bridges are made with? My friend has a Squier that he upgraded my putting locking tuners on/new p/u's etc. The problem is recently the bridge has bowed out and broke one of the trem studs and put a small crack in the wood because he uses 52 gauge strings tuned to standard and he also uses the bridge in floating mode.

I'm guessing his knife edges are shit, yet He insists on getting a new body for it because the wood is cheap and it probably shouldn't have cracked but I'm trying to find out if getting a steel fender bridge would be the better option here because I'm certain he doesn't want to change string gauges.

Pewter, I think.

But, seriously... I had a Schecter strat body crack on me. It happens. Just get a new one. They're cheap and readily available. Hell, even the dude from Warmoth straight up told me, "If I were you, I would just buy a cheap strat." They're everywhere.

I think he's looking into getting a hot-rod strat next or something so I think he'll be alirght with that for a while

But yeah I was just looking out for him in case he wanted to do something with the cheap one first.

Right on. And really, that stuff can actually be repaired. A good woodworker can cut out that section, glue another in and then re-route it. But it's so much better to just pop for a new one. Cheaper and faster.
