I have a Fender American Standard P5 - it's currently up for sale or trade in the classifieds, BUT I really like it and am willing to try and make if work if I can find an 18mm bridge that will fit it properly. Does anyone know if there is an 18mm bridge that exists that will fit the standard Fender spacing? |

It's currently 19mm. It does have the slotted saddles, but I'll only be able to get the middle three strings in to 18mm because there are only 3 slots, so the outside strings (B & G) will still be at 19mm because all the strings are in the centre slots.
Much appreciated anyway.
