Daytona bridge spacing

[mrjamiam]

I'm sure it's been posted before somewhere in the history of this board, but as you likely know, when doing internet searches, a lot of Hamer questions end up right back here and it isn't always easy to ascertain a coherent answer. Hopefully this will turn up as an answer for someone down the line.

Along those lines, and for the other Daytona owners now and in the future, which particular bridge did you end up ordering?

Glad you're liking it, and thanks for sharing the story.

It is the V/N version. http://www.callahamguitars.com/strat_bridge_vn_catalog.htm

From the site:

This is a complete assembly that has vintage 2 7/32" (56mm) mounting spacing but with the narrow 2 1/16" (52mm) string spacing.

It fit right in, no issues at all, so anything of that spec from whatever manufacturer should work. As Bloozguy mentioned, the string spacing is apparently slightly narrower but I couldn't tell. Might even help a little with not pushing the high and low E strings off the fretboard when running out of talent.

And a side note on the search deal. As far as I can discern, using the search feature on the board only returns results from active threads, nothing from the locked/archived older threads. One easy way around that is using google advanced search https://www.google.com/advanced_search just put in your search words, and go down to the line that says site or domain: and put in http://www.hamerfanclub.com/forums/ This should limit the results to this site, and it shows the older threads which can then be linked for reference.
