Left Hand Tremolo for Squier Stratocaster BS005

Squier Stratocaster Compatible Tremolo Unit - BS005

Designed specifically for the Squier Stratocaster series, the BS005 tremolo unit comes with a shorter sustain block compared to its USA counterpart. This adjustment is essential given that the Squier body is typically slightly slimmer than the USA/Mexican models and can't accommodate a full-sized block.

The 52.5mm mounting hole spacing means that this unit is a direct replacement for the existing tremolo, with no modifications required. 

This Squier-compatible tremolo unit features a Zinc sustain block, just like the original.

Zinc is lighter than other materials, such as brass or steel. This can help keep the overall weight of the guitar down, which might be preferable for some players.

While this is somewhat subjective and varies between players, some guitarists believe that zinc provides a balanced tonal characteristic, without overly accentuating highs or lows.
