    Ibanez AZ2204

    AZ2204 2022

    Likely drop-in

    This is the same base design as your stock bridge, just with different saddle and block materials. Same mounting, same stud spacing, real drop-in upgrade path.

    Why we say this

    Stock bridge (Gotoh T1802/T1502) is explicitly built on the Gotoh 510 platform, sharing the same bridge plate, stud/post components, and 56mm stud spacing per Ibanez Wiki and multiple Gotoh 510-pull listings from real AZ owners (Reverb, Unofficial Warmoth Forum). The T1502/T1802 differ from a standard 510 only in saddle material (titanium vs steel) and block material, not mounting geometry. Confirmed drop-in for any 2-point 510-compatible route, which the AZ bridge cavity is.

    Needs verification

    This bridge mounts on the same posts as your stock bridge, but its string spacing is wider than stock. Gotoh's narrower NS510 model matches your stock spacing more closely, but this wider version should still physically fit if you don't mind the difference.

    Why we say this

    This is Gotoh's standard 510 tremolo, built to 54mm string spacing, wider than this guitar's modern 52.4mm spacing. Gotoh's standard and NS510 (Narrow Spacing) tremolos share the same post mounting spacing, so this should physically bolt onto this guitar's existing studs, but the wider string spread means strings will sit further from the neck edge than stock. Revised from an earlier Not compatible verdict, this bridge likely does mount, it just changes string spacing from stock rather than failing to fit at all. Gotoh's NS510 narrow-spacing model is the closer match to stock spacing.
