I have an AVRI body with no bridge and tremolo, but I've got an extra set from an American Pro that I had swapped out for a mastery set. Are they the same hardware?

The same ? No. Should they fit ? Yes. The AVRI had a vintage-style, adjustable-height/radius, threaded-barrel bridge (and 7.25" radius neck). The Am Pro has a 9.5" Mustang-style bridge (so best suits a neck with that radius). The Am Pro (I) trem had a threaded arm, but is otherwise thought to be the same as the AVRI trem; except on the Am Pro II, which has the Panorama trem.

Ok, thank you, that's what I wanted to know.
