Callaham Strat block
« on: October 12, 2008, 10:32:32 AM »
Has anybody tried the upgrade block for an American Standard strat?

I have upgraded the saddles but am wondering whether the block would be a good investment for £50. I must admit, I like the idea of the supported arm but £50 is a lot for a lump of metal.

Unless it sounds better of course :D

What era of American Strat?

Compared to a zinc block heavy steel blocks are a noticeable improvement - although Wikinson/Gotoh do a much cheaper version of the Callaham thing.

It's a 1994 US standard Elliot.  Is there a Wilkinson replacement?
