Hi Scott,

I want to swap out the bridge on my guitar and I see that Fender has two vintage style bridges available:

American Vintage:

Pure Vintage:

https://shop.fender.com/en-PL/parts/bridges/pure-vintage-stratocaster-tremolo-assembly/0094247049.html

Which one is one is on your guitar/which do you recommend?

Thanks! All the best, W.

Good question - I have no idea! They both look the same to me so I'd have to have both bridges in my hand to know which one is on my guitars. Maybe John will know so I'll ask him - somebody at Suhr is ordering bridges from Fender so I'll find out and post when I have the answer.

Suhr gets their Fender bridges from CE Distribution and this is the bridge they order:

This looks like the American Vintage because it's available in both gold and nickel. They also have the Pure Vintage, but they call it "Original Fender®, Vintage Style" and it's only available in chrome.

I think Fender is just bullshitting as usual to get people to buy the more expensive Pure Vintage bridge when both bridges probably sound exactly the same.
