The Hipshot site gives details for what fits what.

Yeah I was just wanting to check if anyone had fitted one to a VM Squier as they are not listed.

The BT10 for Japanese Fenders should obviously be ok for the 70's reissue. Do I assume that a BT7 should suffice for the Squier? 🤔

I know from recently fitting one to 90's MIM Jazz there can be slight differences in the layout of the screw holes. Makes no sense to me but 90s MIM machine heads are slightly different in measurement to other fender direct replacement machine heads. No experience of the Squires but you could potentially have the same issue so you may need to do some minor drilling to fit the xtender. I had my set up guy do mine because I'm useless with these things.

email Hipshot, they'll tell you.

They sent me 5 allen wrenches for the teeny tiny saddle screws on a Hipshot bridge I bought used a year earlier. They sent em free from the USA to Oz.

With that sort of customer service I'm sure they will steer you right :)

Prompt response back from Hipshot customer service

The MIJ 70's reissue requires the BT2

The 2011 Squier VM requires the BT7


So I'm just on the look out for one now
