StratTremolo Blocks

[Guitar Toad]

Has anyone replaced their strat's tremolo block (mine appears to be a grey plastic on my JV strat) with the Callaham metal (stainless steel) trem block? It seems like a good idea. Does it enhance sustain or add brightness to the strat's tone?

Todd...it ain't plastic...the JV's use the same tremolo's and blocks as the Custom Shop reissues and they are also sold as a 62 reissue tremolo, IMO they are great units, the only thing that would be any better would be the Callaham...

I stand corrected.
I have to stop applying everything strat that I read to the JV. The JV just gets better all the time. Cool
