I dont know, my first strat in some time.. I know reliableFender on ebay sell the RIs 57 and so on but are these the same as I have now? Sure looks like it, I put the pups in her, and disconnected middleFlames1950 wrote:Can't remember if the MIM's have the same hole spacing as a USA vintage style bridge........
dont want it, man she sound nice, not bad for a 200 dollar axe, going to take getting use to tho after the musicman axis lol this neck is like paper thin, she has a great country rock vibe to her thats for sure!!Little bit of chicken pickin lolHey, MA... Ive used Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Solo Pro pups for the bridge position on my mij strat, and they work pretty good. Its a relatively powerful pup for a strat, though, kinda like a P90. I also use a Virtual Blues in the neck position, which is also nice. They are not as authentically "strat" sounding as something like a Fralin, but they do sound decent, and have no noise thru a high gain amp, which is a great trade off. BTW, if you're not using the middle pup (I dont either), make sure to lower it as close to flush to the top of the pickguard as possible. The magnetism from that pup makes the guitar play out of tune past the 12th fret. Even if you DO use the middle pup, its a good idea to lower it as much as possible, while still getting a usable signal from it, cause that pup is why strats sound a little strange when playing above the 12th fret.markanthony wrote:Hey gang what would be a good bridge to replace for the Bridge on my 2001 Fender made in mex Strat??Actually thought it a s a good deal ebay 200.00 with SKB hard shell case, of course replacing the pups with malmsteens di marzioa hs-3's

I know the MIM string spacing is different, it throws me whenever I go from my MIJ '62 to either of my MIM Strats.
