Squier 50s Precision bridge cover

[Paco the Taco]

Hello everyone,

I am looking at purchasing the 51 style bridge cover for my Squier 50s Precision. Will this actually cover the bridge on this Squier? It's larger than the Fender bridges like on the Sting model. Anyone done this?

Like this:::

This vintage-style cover is covering the VM-Jag/VM-CV/VM-Jazz/VM-P/Squier J & P/ Fender J & P bridges.

All the angled steel stock bridges are pretty much the same, even those with threaded and unthreaded barrels, 4 screw, five screw and even many - if not most - four-corner screw bridges.

There can be exceptions to this rule.

All except the HM bridges which shouldn't be on a bass anyway.

Don't go any further with my last statement.

You wouldn't want me to call Tink into the debate - would you? She takes no prisoners.

The Squier HM bridge is still a lightweight compared to others; only the tail is noticeably thicker. But I feel the same Joe. After my first four hours with my new 50's blonde, I am convinced all that sustain I am getting is from the extremely light body wood, which seems to be pine by most accounts. Dammit I love my new CV! Ooops OT

Thanks SurferJoe, that is the look I'm trying to get.

So do I need to worry about my thumb, at times, resting on the coverless pup and pooching the coil? I like the looks of the covers but I move all over when I play and don't want the obstruction. If so is there any plastic cover that may fit over the pup? Maybe I'm over-thinking since this has been done by many Tele players for decades?
