Spud - oh yeah thats right duh. My brain is in vintage trem mode. Didn't think about the 2 point trems sawry! :)

Spudster - Trem said something about changing out the bridge entirely on the Squiers to a MIM in order to get the Callaham to fit. You could do that if you wanted to...unless Bill does make you a...

Thanks man for your help and input! Right now I'm talking Spud into them. :)

I'm going to go all the way and order some saddles from Bill. Can't hurt none. I'm glad you were there to support the endeavor Trem. :)

The oddball spring in the photo was one I had laying around. I had lost the original spring somewhere...but you...

I just PM'd you. I mentioned that I did take pictures of the whole process of installation to post here but that I left the camera at home. :o I'll post them later. I didn't put the arm in as...

For those of you mighty Strat slingers who have one and installed it yourself...is it really necessary to put the arm on while you put on the bridge plate as the instructions say? I'm thinking the...
