Custom Shop Parts Review: Hot Rod Convertible Bridge

History:

Purchase: I contacted Custom Shop parts from thier website www.customshopparts.com There I got a friendly answer within 24 hours concerning the above bridge. It was under 70.00 (cant remember exactly)

What I Like About This Custom Shop Parts Hot Rod Convertible Bridge: I have a strat that has a standard vintage style tremolo on it. well I am one of those guys who for years now have tossed the Bar out the window on the way home then blocked off the tremolo against the counterweight in the rear cavity of the guitar so the trem acts as a fixed bridge. I have never been able to find any fixed bridges strat bridge that covers the Tremolo route completely or else I would just do that. This new bridge Covers the Tremolo route and went on in like 10 minutes. There is some minor drilling involved (4 Holes) but anyone can do it. It was easy! They (Custom Shop Parts) are also designing new shapes and style that are retro fit so you could have a flame bridge one day and then something else the next. All this without buying a new guitar!According to CSP Musicians friend is now starting to carry thier bridges so possibly even cheaper in price!

What I Do NOT Like About The Custom Shop Parts Hot Rod Convertible Bridge: Nothing! Its the coolest invention I have seen in a while.

Custom Shop Parts Hot Rod Convertible Bridge Quality Rating: Solid Brass, Highly polished Chrome Finish (I think it comes in Gold also)Bullet style saddles, Total professional custom unit that is great quality

Review Summary: This new Bridge is a breakthrough! I am so pleased. My strat sounds great with more sustain and all around tone and it looks so custom! People were asking me were I got the Guitar and how much was it. No one thought it was just a simple bridge change. Great item, Low Cost Soon to be other choices in the line. This is awesome!
