I have been looking for dimensions for Hipshot's A series 5 string bridges. Anyone have them?

I'm not totally sure but very close to sure that Hipshot also makes them in narrower widths. That CAD file used to be on the site, with a lot of widths listed.

Funny how Best Guitar Parts is offering 19, 20, and 21mm bridges, when Hipshot's own site only offers 19mm, 18.5mm, 18mm, 17.5mm, and 17mm.

the A bridges are adjustable, so I am guessing that the listed width is with saddles set to center.

I've called Hipshot to order a few "A" style bridges and they always give me like 8 different spacing options.
