Musiclily Basic 52.5mm Tremolo Bridge for Strat ST Electric Guitar Black

I am working on a project guitar, which had a low budget but functional trem bridge that was chrome. This bridge is of the same quality, but with a black finish. I have no complaints about the finish. I was reluctant to buy it because one of the reviews mentioned the paint scratching off easily, as if it were just cheaply spray painted. I tried scratching the paint with a screw driver on the under side of the bridge just to make sure the paint wouldn't flake off easily, and it was fine. Of course, it will scratch off like even the best luxury car paint, but it's definitely not anything substandard in that way. For the fit, it was a direct replacement for the screw holes of the original bridge I was replacing, but I did need to route out a larger hole in the guitar to allow the bridge to travel because he underside where the bridge meets the trem block was a bit different than my original. That was mildly annoying, but I took care of it within 20 minutes because I luckily had a trim router and the right router bit for the job. I then painted over the bare wood from were I did the routing out. I can't say if this would be needed for another guitar, but I wanted to mention I needed it for mine, so that might be worth considering if you aren't sure you are able to do that kind of modification. This is definitely not the kind of quality you can expect from a Floyd Rose, but I'd say it's about equal to the quality of the trem bridges that come on Squire stratocasters or similar low budget style with the screw in trem bar. So I rate it 5 stars for the low price and matching low expectations.

I've gone with this bridge twice now and very satisfied . This is a nice replacement rather than upgrade in most cases, but also a good partscaster tremelo for your cheap builds. For 13 bucks the quality is great, comes with everything you need (the tiny allen wrench for the saddle adjustment is super appreciated!) and everything is solid and looks really nice. Love the black, but I think the chrome is even nicer. Had to drill for both guitars but works like a charm. I don't use the actual tremelo bar much , it will do a surfy type thing but is not going to divebomb or floyd status. I'm more interested in how the strings feel, how it stays in tune and of course the buzzing. Very satisfied in that regard. How your action and setup goes will depend on multiple factors but I got both going very nicely and no need to replace. Compared to two guitar fetish and one squier bridge I have on my guitars currently it's just as good or better.

For an entry level vintage style tremolo system, this thing is amazing. It does the job, dropping into most imported any import guitar and looking similar, if not the same to OEM. I installed this particular trem bridge into an SX Hawk I picked up for cheap, and this Musiclily bridge was identical to the OEM (less the corrosion). “But why did you ding this vibrato a star?” Good question. An entry level bridge is still an entry level bridge. I wouldn’t dare install this into a higher-end guitar, as this trem block is understandably paper thin for the price. The trem arm is simply screw in with no retention assistance beyond the friction of the threads. Basically, it’s super basic, found on just about every beginner S-style guitar, everywhere you could look. But again, price for what you get: Can’t beat it. That said, I also cannot in good conscience give it 5-stars as there are better affordable bridges out there if one would want to spend a few more bucks. As for me, I tried to keep my refurbishment costs to a minimum, and this did the trick perfectly. Would I buy again? Yes, but only for another “gotta keep the costs down” beginner guitar overhaul.

I got this bridge for my squire strat and it was a perfect fit. It’s beautiful too, and could easily pass for a high end bridge. It’s a subtle gold that at first I thought was a bit to light, but now I feel it is a perfect color. I think the music lily machine heads I got are a bit of a deeper gold, but they’re too far apart to clash or be noticable. I needed a power screwdriver to screw the bridge in because they were so tight and the screws are very long, so that was kind of a pain. The only other complaint I could make is that the whammy bar was also very tight it’s hole, but some WD40 fixed that. If I ever buy another bridge, I will be buying from musiclilly. Note: I used the stock tremolo springs and mount, so I don’t know how good the ones that came with this bridge are.

SERVICE WAS GREAT, GOT HERE ON TIME EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD WORKING ORDER.

I bought the Musiclily 52.5mm tremolo bridge for a budget Strat-style project. It works, but there are definitely some quality issues. The hole for the whammy bar is misaligned, so the tremolo arm won’t thread in correctly. Personally, this isn’t a big deal for me because I don’t use a whammy bar anyway, but if you plan on using the tremolo arm this could be a problem. The other issue I ran into was with the height adjustment set screws. One of them stripped while I was adjusting saddle height. That could partly be on me, but the screws do feel pretty soft compared to higher-quality bridges. Overall, it’s a cheap bridge and it basically works, but the hardware quality reflects the price. If you’re doing a budget build and don’t care about using the tremolo arm, it might be fine. If you want something more solid, you may want to spend a little more.

solid upgrade that offers incredible value for money. It has a nice weight to it, which noticeably improves the guitar's overall tone and sustain.The smoothness of the tremolo action is impressive, and it holds its tuning remarkably well even with frequent use. It feels like a high-quality, sturdy piece of hardware, so I have no doubts about its long-term durability. It's an easy recommendation for anyone looking to refresh their Strat or Squier on a budget.

This Musiclily 52.5mm Guitar Stratocaster Tremolo Bridge went on my Stewmac kit build, which I really like. Its mounting holes lined up exactly with the kit. The unit is nearly flawless, with one exception: the black coating on the saddles began to chip a little. These tiny chips exposed the brass underneath. Because they chips were not perfectly even, I pro-actively filed the grooves in the in the saddles to make them more uniform. You can see the filed spots if you look closely enough. I swapped its trem block for another, heavier one from the same supplier. It works perfectly.

Fits perfectly.

Great bridge zero issues works perfect nice quality and used a few of them and no issues at all and great price fits perfect

Buona riuscita

Bridge arrived exactly as described so all good. The block is a bit weaselly, but that's to be expected at this price - if you go with this option, you might want to upgrade with a brass block later.

Loved it. Fast delivery. Love you guys.
