In this video we will do a shootout between the stock bridge assembly of my 1991 Fender American Standard Stratocaster and a newer Fender bridge assembly, the same spec as used on the 2008-2016 American Standard models. The new bridge drops in without any modification (except basic setup).

I wanted to experiment with the vintage saddles, but because my Strat originally comes with saddles with offset screws, I didn't have many options available. Thus, I opted for the complete bridge upgrade offered by Fender (part number 007-5091-000) that already comes with the bent steel saddles, along with an upgraded block (copped infused steel according to the manufacturer).

This mod can be done to any American Standard/Series Strat from 1987-2007.
Or (in case you actually prefer the other way around) you can mod a 2008+ Am Std with the old style bridge.
