Hey everyone. I'm new here and have a few questions. I picked up a red 20th Anniversary Strat for a ridiculously low amount of money. My repair guy is licking his chops, because he wants to turn it into a Brad Gillis machine.

My questions are related to upgrading the entire bridge (the only things that will not happen with this Gillis strat is no Floyd Rose and no internal wireless - not a Floyd Rose guy.)

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get a bigger trem block and saddles, as well as a proper black HSS pickguard, preferably 3 ply. I'm guessing a standard Fender pickguard won't fit.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah. I've bought pickups from there before, and I was pretty pleased. The problem is they don't have any Strat trem bridges. Everything they have for Strats are hardtails.

I guess I just measure the bridge and go hunting, eh?
