    Fender

    Likely drop-in

    A vintage-correct tremolo upgrade. The spacing matches this guitar's true vintage-width bridge, so it should be a straightforward swap.

    Why we say this

    This guitar carries Fender's confirmed true vintage-spec bridge spacing of 56.4mm (2-7/32 inch), the same figure Wilkinson builds the VSVG specifically to match. This is one of the more solid fitment claims in the Fender catalog since both numbers are well corroborated.

    Yamaha Pacifica 112V

    Yamaha

    Pacifica 112V 2022

    Needs verification

    A vintage-style tremolo upgrade, but Yamaha does not publish its exact mounting spec, so an exact match has not been confirmed. Worth measuring before ordering.

    Why we say this

    Yamaha's own mounting spec for this vintage-style tremolo has not been published, so an exact match to this Fender-spec replacement bridge is not independently confirmed.

    Help confirm this fit

    Not compatible

    Despite being labeled vintage-style, this bridge is built for wider spacing than this guitar actually has. Documented as a real mismatch by other owners, not just a tight squeeze.

    Why we say this

    This bridge is built to true vintage 54-56mm spacing. This guitar's bridge measures narrower at 52.5mm despite the vintage-style look, a real, documented mismatch confirmed by multiple owner reports, not just a tight fit.

    Not compatible

    This bridge mounts with 6 screws. This guitar uses a 2-point mount instead, a completely different mounting pattern, so this will not fit no matter what.

    Why we say this

    This is a 6-screw vintage-style mount bridge. This guitar uses a modern 2-point mount instead, a completely different mounting pattern that a 6-screw bridge cannot bolt onto.
