A standard Mexican Fender Stratocaster
Bridge is being used in this Installation.
Click to EnlargeThe for this parts include a bridge with saddles, 6 screws for the bridge, tremolo claw with 2 screws, and a whammy bar.

Take the spring claw and the two screws and put them into the body. Do not screw them in very far.

Next solder the tremolo ground wire onto the spring claw.

Turn the guitar body over and attach tremolo block. Leave about 1/8 of an inch of play on these screws so the block can move. The same goes for the 2-point
tremolo systems.

Tighten the screws on the spring claw so there is little play in the block. The block still needs to be able to move if you plan on using a whammy bar.

Then place the tremolo cover on the body.
