Fender'62 Reissue Stratocaster Tremolo Bridge
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A complete '62-style Stratocaster tremolo bridge assembly. For players replacing worn vintage-spec hardware or converting a modern Strat to vintage-style tremolo.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Restoring a vintage-spec Strat with worn or damaged bridge hardware
- Players who use the tremolo hard and have worn out knife edges
- Converting a two-post modern Strat to six-screw vintage layout
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone with a locking or two-post modern tremolo — mounting differs
- Players who never use the whip and would do better hardtail
- Beginners uncomfortable measuring post spacing before ordering
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Full tremolo bridge assembly
Bridge plate, saddles, and block together, so you are not sourcing matching parts individually.
Detail 03
Stratocaster body shape
Routed and drilled for the Strat trem cavity. It will not fit a Telecaster or hardtail body.
Detail 04
SSS pickup configuration
Matched to the three-single-coil Strat layout and its standard string spacing at the bridge.
Detail 05
Steel block
The block anchors string ball ends and carries string tension, affecting sustain and how the trem returns to pitch.
Detail 06
Six-screw pivot
Pivots on six screws rather than two knife-edge posts. Setup and screw height matter more for smooth return to pitch.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing bridge post spacing — modern two-post Strats will not accept this
- 02Tremolo springs, claw, and arm may need to be sourced separately
- 03Plan on a full setup: string height, intonation, spring tension, and trem float
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my modern Stratocaster?
Only if it uses the vintage six-screw layout. Two-post modern trems have different mounting and cannot take this bridge.
02Does it come with the tremolo arm and springs?
Treat the arm, springs, and claw as separate — order what you need alongside so you can complete the install in one go.
03Do I need to drill new holes in my body?
Not if your Strat already has the six-screw vintage layout. Converting from a two-post bridge does require new drilling.
04How hard is this to install myself?
It is doable with basic tools, but you will need to re-string, set intonation, adjust spring tension, and balance the trem float.
