The body wings on all BSR models are the same and universal to go on any model, 4, 5, 6 or 7 string. The BT models have the same deal going with the BT wings.

The Burners are basically the same principal as well being that the continuation of the neck determines how wide the bass is overall.

On a Bass or BT is we make a 5 in 19mm spacing with 10mm nut instead of 9-18mm. The bass will be 4mm wider overall. A 6-wide will be 5 mm wider.
Hello, Am I understanding this correctly, basically a 6 string is 5mm wider than a 5 string? or rather the center block on a 6 is 5mm wider than a 5 string?
