Musiclily Ultra 10.5mm Full Brass 36mm Short Tremolo Block for Squier Bullet Strat and Some Import Electric Guitar

The price of this block is less than half of the price of many other competitors. Unfortunately, this did not line up with the chord bar hole on my 2020 player stratocaster. Upon much research I discovered that players series strats have different kinds of blocks to choose from. In order to purchase the right block, you must first identify the type of block you have. A tremolo arm hole would not line up if this is not done. Take a look at the side of the block that has the whammy bar threads In cases where the hole for the tremolo bar is in the lower right corner, there will be an angle For Mexican strat blocks, you will need to purchase them. You need the import st block if your wall block has a straight hole for the tremolo bar that is higher on the wall. Unless a different version of this block was given, the order I placed was wrong. I've been contacted by the seller, who offers to send me the Mexican block. Once I have updated my review, I will let you know.

Now there is much more mass to the Squire stock bridge in terms of both weight and overall size. In my first attempt at installing this new trem block, I had literally taken my stock bridge completely out of the guitar body. I was shocked to realize what a serious weight difference this new block actually makes compared to my stock bridge. Squire/Fender list the dimensions for import Strat bodies as being exact with digital calipers, so I'm confident that it's a well-machined guitar. From the front to the back, it DOES fit within the trem routing The back cover is likely to be available for you to make use of if you need it. Other than that, it won't stick out in Despite only giving this trem block four stars, I still considered it an excellent product. There is no reason why it should only be given 3. Perhaps it deserves 4 or 5. It's 75. . . but there's no way to do that. The only criticism I wish to address is the loss of dive bomb capability, and after double checking all the specs it does appear that either Musiclily (or whoever they may contract some manufacturing jobs to) did not machine the block quite far enough down in this The only problem was that the production would have caught it during the process. As such, I'd like to point out Fender has made genuine replacement parts here in the US of A that were all kinds of off & I have had to return them That was a big mistake. We are not saying this as a slap at Musiclily or any other company with which they contract. As it turns out, this is an incredible improvement over my import strat. You won't have any less of a challenge with yours. I gave this company four out of five again, but only because Amazon doesn't allow fractional dollars. It is undoubtedly a problem, so if I'm being totally honest in the review (honesty is something I place high value on when shopping for guitar parts here) I can't omit to mention When it comes to searching and finding an inexpensive part or component, there isn't much worse than that I searched for a while, then waited and then Waiting only to be thrown out when one ends up cussing & screaming Cursing, because the item you received was not what you expected it to be. I have to say that it is much heavier and substantially thicker longitudinally (head to tail and headstock to bridge) and, at least in my imported Strat body, it can barely fit. As a result, the available space within the routing is only going to be able to accommodate about 14 of the dive bombing that is While that's not an issue for me, it may be an issue for others. What makes up for that, in my opinion, is that this new 'shorty' block sounds absolutely sublime! Additionally, the sustain is somewhere between three times and four times longer than what could be offered by a zinc-plated block that barely passes the metal test. As a word of caution, you should do the following Measure both the stock trem block on your Strat body, as well as the routing, in order to make sure that you have at least enough room for Squire/Fender guitars can have a fairly wide range of dimensions, even within the same range. They should be able to have lower prices because most of their bodies are made of wood, so using less of it saves material costs. A Fender American or Mexican factory body measure (and even some models made in Japan) can be up to 1/2- 9/16" thicker front-to-back because it is manufactured there. People usually don't notice this until they are pointed out by someone with experience. few headaches here and there, but that shouldn't be more important than upgrading your guitar and playing it to your best ability. Taking control of what is to be done.

Overall, this report is in the red With this import Strat upgrade, I don't think you'll regret that you went ahead and purchased it. Exactly as I mentioned, make sure to MEASURE and TESTS. It won't matter what you do. In the end, you will see that improvement in tone and resonance, along with a fantastic increase in sustain, pays off. You know you want to, so go ahead and do it.

brass block is of very high quality, and the workmanship and material are excellent, however I had to return it because it was too large. Unlike the Bullet or Affinity series, a Squier Standard Strat from 2018 has a full body, not a slim profile like those. My Zinc block was exactly the same size as the block on the block as well as the mounting screws as well as the tremolo bar threads. The spacing of the string holes was also the same. There were three small gaps of about 3mm between the string hole and the tremolo hole on my tremolo plate Therefore, I removed one star, since it needed to be returned.

It improved the sound of my Greg Bennett Malibu guitar by replacing the tremolo with this Musiclily replacement. In contrast to the previous composite steel tremolo, which was poorly made and cracked, the solid brass one is solid and has no issues. As for the rest of the original parts, I fitted them to the Musiclily unit as well using the new screws rather than the old ones. While I had some trouble when screwing in the whammy bar at first, it's been working well since. There has never been a time when the guitar sounds better, with a better overall musicality, extended sustain and strings holding tuning the way they should. It turned out to be a very inexpensive upgrade, and even if the tremolo was not broken, I would consider it an improvement tweak. There is very little to complain about in this unit, and it should last a.

Added a modified plate to fit the new block and my guitar has a noticeable improvement in tone and sustain. It is an upgrade from the stock brass block from the factory, and I recommend it highly. If you measure your current block before ordering, it will be a breeze to install.

The 36mm short block is what I bought. It was long overdue to upgrade and I am very happy with what I purchased. Unfortunately, I don't own a scale so I can't determine how much heavier it is, but I feel like it's twice its weight If you stand up while playing, I would imagine you would strain your back from the added weight It is important to keep that in mind. Although this is the case, I still recommend it highly.

The holes in this puzzle do not line up like the title implies. It was an affinity squier that I was trying to upgrade. This block line up well with one I've purchased from gfs in the past. I can't make any sense of this. The trem slot is not even an option.

I love how the brass block fits so perfectly with my Fender Squier Bullet Stratocaster! There has been a significant improvement in both I love how well priced and how nice it looks at the same time. This is a highly recommended title!.
