FS HWY1 Conversion Bridge
Ive got a HWY1 conversion bridge I bought about a year ago, used it for a couple of weeks and then went back to vintage spacing.

This bridge has vintage bolt spacing but modern string spacing and is somewhat unique to the HWY1...but can be used on anything with vintage bolt spacing.

This is excellent if your vintage spaced bridge has you rolling off the fretboard on the high E string.

New condition, still has the (silver)sticker over the bridge plate and spring.
Does not include trem arm.

$80 shipped in the US

Okay, so finally Ive got some pics of this unique trem bridge.
If youll notice, the bolt spacing is wider(vintage 2 7/32") and the string spacing is narrower(modern 2 1/16")...this is really great if youve got/built a guitar where youre dancing on the edge of the fretboard on the high E string. Maybe vintage string spacing isnt for you??




I had this bridge installed for a lil over a week, Ive since learned to enjoy vintage spacing, I own nothing with modern currently.

NEW price is $70 includes everything shown and shipping within the US.

I was thinking, this would also be good for a partscaster where you were combining a vintage style body with a modern neck(nut slot spacing).

FS means "for sale" but I have thread prefixes set. Read here for the thread prefixes.



Good luck with your sale Sprocket

What's with the spacing?
How much can be tolerated?
