I am thinking about taking out my tremelo system in my MIM strat and installing a hardtail.

What I would like to know is if this as easy as I think it should be?

Also can anyone think of a downfall of doing this?

I never use the tremelo anyway.

Please I would like as much feedback as I can get.

Compare the meassurements of both before.

A simple solution is to put a wood or paper block between body and trem block backside. So no trem action anymore. If you want to use it in future again you can take the block away.

cheers :D

+1 on the blocking tremolo idea.

How about removing the trem bar and adding some springs on the claws so the bridge is flush with body?
