I didn't think this would fit a Fender without mods, my Fender has 5 bridge screws.

There is a direct replacement for 5-hole Fenders in the A-series, so if they say so, then sure. It's guitarpartsresource.com that's the seller, and they have the same items in their online store.

From what I can see in the pic, it looks like that bridge only uses three of the five (standard Fender) mounting holes...

I had one that needed a retrofit but that looks like they re-engineered it as a drop-in...cool. I wasn't impressed by the A bridge to be honest...great concept but a HEEUUGE pain in the ass to set up...every time you change the strings too.

I'd go with a B bridge, less moving parts, better transfer
