[size=150]Nobody seems to be able to answer what I think is not a very hard question, so here goes and my thanks to anyone of you kind folks that knows the right answer. I have a 2010 American Standard Stratocaster that is all original. The only complaint is that the stock two hole tremolo requires that small spring and than you must screw-in the tremolo arm to start to use the tremolo. I would like to buy a Fender tremolo accessory that is the Tremolo system that is standard on all the Fender Stratocaster Deluxe guitars, no springs, ne need to screw-in the tremolo arm, just snap in the tremolo arm and you're all set, trouble is, nobody I've asked knows if you can just swap out the American Standard tremolo system and upgrade it to the tremolo system that is stock on the Strat Deluxe guitars. Nobody seems to be quite sure if the holes line up, etc. as the Start Deluxe have saddles with offset screws into the bridges and the American standard comes with bridges that have screws that screw straight into the bridge saddles. I have heard the answers of yes and no, trouble is after I get a "yes" answer I also get, "It should work", meaning they don't really know. I thought if anyone really knows the right answer they're probably right here on the Fender Forum web-site. So if you really know, could you kindly share your knowledge with the rest of us that are looking for the true and correct answer. Happy New Year to the kind soul that will hopefully post a reply.
Regards,
Doc
