[rare65stang]

I recently bought a 65 mustang. Everything appears to be original on it. The bridge, however, seams to ne a bit "to Clean". Isthere any way to tell if the bridge on a stang is vintage 65 era or a repop bridge?

I found this info.

The vintage bridges had these bumps at the ends where you stick in the hex screwdriver, the Jaguar/Jazmaster bridges too, as you can see in this picture I found on www.fenderjaguar.net:


As for strictly Mustang bridges, I don't have a Japanese one to compare, but the US ones had about 55 mm from the low E to the high E.
