    Great post, T2TB. I know you and I have exchanged some dialogue re: the Callaham trem block awhile back, and I'm glad to hear you went ahead and changed yours out. The one I have in my MIM Classic 60's Strat has made a HUGE difference in tone, and I eventually plan on replacing the stock units on both of my (2) Squier Strats with Callaham blocks.

    Ya, maybe I can set the record for the guy with the most Callaham tremolo blocks. I can see a new wing in the house opening up.

    Bill Callaham replied to my question:

    Will your tremolo blocks fit the two post Squier bridges?

    Bill:

    "Dear Steve,

    Sorry, they do not.

    Sorry we couldn't help,

    Bill Callaham"

    How is that for a wide open market? Any fretters want to go into business?

    After some discourse with Bill Callaham he asked me to send him one of my bridges. So...we may yet see a replacement Callaham tremolo block for Squier two post tremolo bridges.
