Thanks Harley  :thumb-up:   I'll have a look.  As an aside, I finally ordered a replacement NiCad battery for my Bosch cordless drill (the drill was made in Switzerland, or so it says).  I only procrastinated about it for a year or 2  :facepalm: since the original battery died completely. I finally found a replacement online (from Melbourne) and ordered it.  It's so dumb that the new battery will cost me more than I can buy a brand new drill for, but I like the Bosch and I hate throwing things out that still work fine...

A good combination would be to combine those saddles with a Wilkinson trem, though now harder to get as Gotoh seems to have bought them...  I bought 2 Wilkinson trems for $40 AUD each, I think retail was $65 AUD, great value and the saddles are fine.  They have the push in trem with a grub screw and a decent sustain block. https://mrfabulous.com.au/product/wilkinson-steel-block-tremolo/ still have some.  Considering the saddles are around $90 AUD, that's twice the price I paid for a whole Wilkinson.  Also note the ovaloid holes for the 6 bridge screws (except the E6 hole) so the bridge fits a few of the narrower strats (e.g. fits great on my Squire Bullet Strat) but also probably other copies that are built in metric. 

The Highwood saddles are really well made.  Note: the Alan screws are completely recessed  :thumb-up: (I call it a Bazillion), the Alan Screws are completely boxed in (nice more mass more sustain  >:D ) and the v shape provides a nice string guide.  All with keeping the "vintage" look but a bit better....

I like those. I hate my strat bridges with their sharp little grub screws sticking out the top....always pissed me off. You pay that much for a Strat and you get a crappy bridge? Sheesh

Go for a Callaham and you'll never fail!

I've been considering a block, bridge plate and arm for one of my Strats from them for my '57 RI, but I'll still use the original saddles.

This can be a big improvement, also mixing Callaham and Fender or Gotoh parts.
The plate and the virtual pop-in tremolo arm are the biggest part of that improvement.
I have been using Callaham products for a few years and would never go back.
They're a little expensive, I know....but quality is very high.

Now I'm curious to test those Highwood saddles...

Nice Axe Max!! I like the soft edges where the bridge is routed and where the knobs are set into the body, very nice.

I also like the way the luthier used the maple cap as a faux binding....I have that on my Les Paul Studio (pic below)

Yep, that's a great guitar indeed.
That carving on the top, soft edges included, is 100% done by hand.

I love the "natural binding" effect too...I've it on my 1987 PRS Custom and on another two "made in Italy" guitars as well.

I'll meet you there Harley, we'll start a retirement band and do some Geriatric Choreography like ZZ Top

Am I invited to join???

C'mon Max, you think I'm gonna leave my Paesan? NO way! You're in, just set your gear up on stage right

I packed my MP-1 and the Frudua GFK and booked my flight, Paisà!!!  :banana-jazz-smiley-emoticon:

There are shorter replacement allen screws for strat bridges. I may look for some of those.
