Schaller Vintage Tremolo right Tremolo/Vibrato

Schaller Vintage Tremolo right Gold — Drop-In Strat Replacement with Roller Saddles

The Schaller Vintage Tremolo right Gold is a vibrato bridge built as a direct replacement for Fender Stratocaster tremolos. A hardened steel baseplate anchors the assembly, while the solid Pure Sound Brass tremolo block delivers the resonance and sustain that stock units often lack. Roller bridge saddles fix each string in its optimum position, eliminating the sideways string creep that causes tuning instability.

What Sets the Vintage Tremolo Apart

Two construction choices separate this unit from a stock six-screw bridge. The hardened steel baseplate resists flex under heavy vibrato use, and a Pure Sound Brass block adds mass for low-end response. The roller saddles are the most distinctive feature: each string rests on a small rotating cylinder rather than a fixed knife edge, dramatically reducing friction during tremolo use.

Mounting Geometry — Direct Fit for Standard Strat Bodies

The mounting dimensions match vintage and modern Stratocaster routing, so no body modification is required for most installations.

• Distance between height adjustment screws: 74.3 mm — standard Fender Stratocaster pivot spacing
• Press-in bushing size: 10 mm
• String spacing (E to e): 54 mm

Intonation Travel and Adjustment Range

Each saddle sits in a slideway that allows fine intonation adjustment, giving enough travel to dial in accurate tuning across all six strings.

• Slideway intonation: 12.0 mm
• Maximum string gauge: .095
• Block attachment screws: three screws spaced 21.5 mm apart

Materials, Mass, and What's in the Box

The combination of a steel baseplate and a brass block gives the bridge meaningful mass behind the strings, translating into longer sustain and a fuller low end compared to zinc or pot-metal stock units.

• Baseplate material: hardened steel — resists bending under aggressive tremolo use
• Tremolo block material: Pure Sound Brass — available in 32 mm, 37 mm, or 42 mm lengths
• Weight: 327 g (with 37 mm block)
