This vintage 1965 Fender Stratocaster tremolo bridge comes complete with original screws and claw, making it an excellent choice for collectors, restorers, and players seeking authentic mid-’60s Fender hardware.
The bridge would be correct for a range of years, but came in on a guitar with a mid-60s body, 65 pots, and mid 60s pickups.
Two of the mounting screws and the bridge saddles are not original. Springs may or may not be original.
As one of the most important components of the Stratocaster’s legendary design, this bridge delivers the tonal stability, sustain, and smooth vibrato that helped define the sound of the pre-CBS and transitional-era Fender guitars.
The metal shows the natural wear and patina you’d expect from an authentic 1960s Fender part, with correct vintage spacing and materials. Whether you’re restoring a 1965 Stratocaster to its original glory or building a historically accurate vintage-correct instrument, this bridge assembly provides the perfect finishing touch.
At Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, we carefully document every part with detailed photos and expert verification so you can buy with confidence.
