Solid Brass Tremolo Block 11.3mm String Spacing

Northwest Guitars Brass block = good

After the tremolo arm in my Strat snapped during use, I found that I needed to replace the block. Northwest Guitars have a wide selection of blocks to fit the different types of bridges you’ll find. and after looking through them and comparing them to the dimensions of my bridge, I found the one that I needed at a slightly cheaper price than buying directly from Fender. Ordered on Wednesday and through my door on Saturday via standard delivery, I took my Strat apart, replaced the block, put the strings back on and now this mean guitar is in good health once again. I don’t know how it truly affects the sound, tuning or sustain, but my guitar still sounds like a guitar so that is good. I’ve learned where I went wrong with my tremolo arm snapping, so hopefully I’ll not have to replace another block again… But in the event I develop memory loss, I will be buying from Northwest Guitars again. 10/10

A solid upgrade!

The dimensions matched my Gotoh vintage tremolo unit but I had to use the original screws. No biggie! It's a heavy block and it noticeably increased the output of my guitar, so much that I had to re-dial my amp for the edge of breakup. Probably the last thing I'll upgrade on a guitar but still an upgrade! Cheaper than a new tremolo unit too.
