Does anybody know for sure if the current American Standard Stratocasters have their specs (bridge, saddles, saddle height screws, trussrod, trem arm screw, etc.) measured in inches or in centimeters?

Thanks in advance!

Generally, both are given in the specs, as shown here for example.

Thread sizes, allen wrench sizes, etc, will be Standard sizes (not metric)

Imperial maple or metric maple?

Some American Fender products or measurements use SI units and not Customary US units. A 35 Watt amp is not marketed as 3/64 horsepower.
