Can you buy a bigsby bridge made by fender like the ones on the Classic 60´s Telecasters but to a stratocaster? And if you how much would one cost?

I would think if you would be able to, you would have to have a hardtail strat. I'm thinking the tremolo routing would make it harder for a Bigsby Bridge to mount to a Strat body.

I've seen it done. But since the Synchronized Tremolo designed for the Strat works so well, why would you want to?

Of course the standard stat tremolo works great. That's what it is supposed to do. Yet, when playing a guitar it's not about the standard... it's about personalizing and having something no one else has.

I'll admit I to would like to see a bigsby strat. I'd also like to see a VG Strat HH or a VG Strat HHH w/or wo a bigsby. That would be cool.

I dont' think it's possible unless you install it on a hardtail strat plus an extra bridge (tune-o-matic). Because the bigsby tremolo is not a bridge, it's a stopbar. The trems on Strats is the bridge and it's through the body, so you'd had to take of that whole bridge (leaves disgusting looking holes) and install a new bridge and the bigsby as a tail piece.
