I am going to order one of these online from Ishibashi, but they didn't mention what's the string spacing on these guitars.

Looking to get the block/bridge assembly replaced with a callaham one.

And bill isn't too sure exactly which will fit.

I still haven't pulled off the purchase because I don't want a 2 1/16 string spacing. I feel the 2 7/32 is more comfortable for my hands.

Anyone has experience with replacing the bridge assembly or know about the string spacing?

The exact guitar is Here

Thanks in advance.

Probably don't want to hear this, but I would wait until the Guitar is in hand, and you can measure it yourself...but that's just me.

haha! Measuring it first hand is ideal.

Yeah, but I don't want to get one and then realise its shorter.

Cause I want to upgrade it to callaham's trem assembly, and I feel much more comfortable using 2 7/32 spacing.

I just purchased a Sonic Blue MIJ ST-62TX last week........will try and measure for you sometime today. It is a very nice guitar!

I did the measurement on my CIJ ST-62TX and E to E at the bridge is 2 3/16. Hope that helps. Mine is a used guitar from 1997.
