      Also, you can call Mike Charvel. He has them. www.wayneguitars.com

          Depends on the era, some real old ones are wide also. What is your project? Do you need the narrow spacing?

                The one's I've gotten from Michael are narrow spaced 2.0 to 2-1/16". (Depends on how you measure it. You can move the saddles somewhat)Original vintage "Fender" spacing is 2-3/16". From what I have read Charvel's ranged from 2" - 2-1/4" spacing depending on the model, year and what parts suppliers were making at the time.

                I would get the spacing you are most used to. (Vintage Strat 2-3/16") (More modern Strat, 2-1/16") are the most common.

                I would say that Randy played Les Pauls, which are 2-1/8" off the top of my head, I would opt for a 2-1/16" since it's the most available spacing in a all brass bridge.
