Hmmm... from what I read the guy stated it wouldn't fit.
I wonder if the author of that had a floater? Because if the the floyd is a floater it won't work as it throws it all out balance and even if the trem is not and recessed into the body there won't be clearance either without surgery.
On my Wolf special usa pv and standard pv the base seems to be thicker than my original.
There still is sorta of a clearance issue if your not careful on the low E fine tuner travel. I took a dremel to my special and hollowed out a tiny spot under its d tuna for more useable travel of the low e tuner. For some reason it was so close and small of travel you couldn't actuate it some times. My super strat doesn't seem to ha e quite as much issue but can get tight in there.
But good to know it will work in case I get an axis.
