Replacement bridge required - 2021 Squier CV50's P

[T Cee]

Hi all,

 

I was lucky enough to have picked up a nearly new Squier CV50s P second hand recently, and it seems I need to replace some bridge parts.  It has the standard 'threaded rod' barrel bridge.  As fas as I can tell, the Allparts 'Vintage Style' should be a straight swap, but can't confirm if that's the case  - I wondered if anyone else has attempted this repair?  Alternatively, maybe I should look at other options?  However, I'm not currently keen to fit a high mass or anything.  

 

Thanks in advance, good people of BC!

These bridges (humorously referred to as BBOT - bent bit of tin) are all going to be interchangeable - Allparts would be on a hiding to nothing making something that wouldn't fit.

 

If you want to stick with this style of bridge, it would honestly be worthwhile putting a request for one in the wanted section; there's loads here that have swapped these out for different ones and have their old bridges sitting unloved in their parts boxes.  Hell, if I have a spare one, I'd send it to you just to be shot of it!

What's wrong with the old one?  Can't be too bad if it is nearly new.

I had a quick look and it looks like a standard fender BBOT bridge which you could replace the saddles or screws on, as above, what’s faulty with the one you have

Thanks guys, really appreciate the support here.

 

A couple of the grub screws have seized in the barrels and chewed up.  I was careful, but I can only suspect this damage was already there - the action was stupidly high when I picked it up, but I put it down to not being set up right.  I may have discovered why now!  Never mind, you pays your money, etc.

 

I had a look for replacement indentical saddles online, but I couldn't find any with grub screws.  I was unsure whether other bridge saddles would fit the existing bridge plate, hence sticking with same as.  Given what you guys have said though, I shall see what I can pick up!  I don't mod my basses much, hence being a bit unsure about it all.

 

Once again, really appreciate the help.

Saddle Height Screws... Spaldings Fasteners on the bay A2 stainless... various lengths and points... couple of quid.

How many do you need as I have a couple of barrels with screws spare that you can have for free if you want, I think they came off one of my reissue jazzes

You clearly need to replace the whole thing with a bent bit of titanium at £134: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255036764665?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=7101533165274578&mkcid=2&itemid=255036764665&targetid=4585169652812023&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=412354547&mkgroupid=1305120599331881&rlsatarget=pla-4585169652812023&abcId=9300541&merchantid=87779&msclkid=8549a2544f661ea5312fc19b496a5845
