Kluson® 2 Post Steel Block Tremolo Bridge
The Kluson® 2 Post Steel Block Tremolo is a contemporary tremolo bridge designed to directly replace the bridge systems for Fender® American Standard Series guitars from built from 1987 to 2016 or American Professional series guitars introduced in 2017. This tremolo combines the most popular features of the prior Fender® designs taking advantage of their shared mounting pattern.
Key improvements over the traditional bridge include a refined block finish, true matching plating colors, additional plating options nickel and black, and replacement components that can be combined with original Fender® bridge assemblies (sold separately).
Legacy:The Fender® 2-point design introduced in 1987 featured a screw in tremolo arm and block saddles with an offset intonation screw (featured on the USA American Standard Series® and the USA Strat Plus®).
The American Deluxe® series incorporated two upgrade features; a pop-in tremolo arm and plated block saddles.
More recent, Fender®'s Professional Series Stratocaster® began using the traditional stamped steel saddles with a redesigned mounting plate for non-offset intonation screws.
Reimagined:Kluson® has taken what they feel are the best features of all three versions of the Fender® 2-point design and incorporated them into one bridge that serves as a replacement for all and offers builders an excellent option with recognizable features.

Review By Todd McCagg
Sleeper Bridge
Recent build for a client, ONLY body I could find quick (in time for Santa) was a Deluxe which uses a 2 point fulcrum trem. Now, I LOVE Leo's on G&Ls and really think that there isn't much better out there, but this is a close second and from 42 St, you'd never even notice is wasn't a stock, vintage bridge. REALLY nicely manufactured. HEAVY block, sustain all day long.
