    I have the aforementioned

    ....and while I love the feel of the neck, Pups sound great, I'm not happy with the trem. I hate the sloppy feel of the threaded arm. I have a wilkinson in my pacifica and love it. the trem in the wilkinson is a pop in as opposed to screw in.
    I've heard good things about the callaham bridges but they don't make a complete bridge for std USA strats. Any recommendations? :)

    Firstly, why is your guitar covered in pubic hair?
    Secondly the Callaham bridges are excellent.

    I'm playing an American Deluxe and the stock 2 screw bridge on those are great and its a pop in trem arm too

    I like it :D

    Getting back on track though. I got an email from callaham. It's a replacement block they provide for a USA std strat with the springs, saddles and arm. One uses the original fender bridgeplate. Now if I can sell some of me stuff on adverts I'll be able to make a purchase. :o
