Hello Everyone.

Here's the situation:
I own three MIK Showmaster guitars, two of them are HH models, the newest one is SSS.
For the past two months, I've been swapping pickups in the SSS model to try to get as close to a true Strat tone as I can, and finally settled with a set of 1980 Strat pups. (X-1 Bridge, and stock Neck and Mid pup).
Now comes the issue of hardware.
The locking tuners on this guitar are garbage, they need to be replaced no question. The bridge is like the Standard bridge on a Strat but with cast saddles, not bent steel. Keeping in mind, that I'm trying to keep the tone as 'Stratty' as possible, what suggestions can you recommend that will keep the tone and the tuning stability for this guitar? American Standard, American Vintage, or some other replacement?
I may end up doing the same thing to the other two guitars as well, but Im not too concerned about trying to get a Strat tone out of them.

Thank you in advance for your help
