This was a direct fit for a 1980 Squire MIM Stratocaster. I was replacing the stock tremolo that had the block style saddles and tiny cast tremolo block. The guitar sounds much better now. I was hoping the tremolo block was steel but after the magnet test I'm pretty sure it's zinc. I don't know if the improved sound is due to the bent steel saddles or the more massive trem block or both but I would recommend this if you have the same tremolo I did. I had previously modded this guitar with Sperzel locking tuners, Fender custom shop Texas special pickups, Fender 250k pots, and vintage capacitors. The guitar felt like it was half way there for years. I wish I would have replaced the bridge a long time ago because now the guitar feels and sounds complete.
