  • Identify Strat type tremolo

    Hi, I have a mystery partscaster and am trying to identify the maker or model of the bridge/trem. The two pivot screws make it similar to an American Standard (I think) but on this the openings for the pivot screws are proper holes instead of being open on one side. Everything else on the guitar is pretty high end, I would be surprised if they cheaped out on the bridge/trem. I haven't been able to find any model that has these types of holes. I don't see any identifying marks on the bridge or the block, but maybe missed something. Guitar was put together around 2001.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've been searching this for past couple of days.
    It appears to be an aftermarket, similar to the wilkenson, and G&L tremelo.
    Not sure if yours has threaded inserts, or just wood screws.
    I for one would prefer the wood screws, that way it can be moved back a bit, if you like heavier strings.
    The drilled inserts makes the location much more precise!
    I may see how a six hole tremolo plate performs with just the 2 end screws in place!
    Here are a few pictures.
