If you want it to sound like a Strat you need 6 screws in the trem and stamped steel saddles.

I can't find the exact quote but Robin Trower said that (in so many words) and I couldn't agree more. If it ain't broke don't fix it.


+1

Vintage string spacing + vintage saddles + vintage configuration = vintage vibe.

Of course I freely admit to being the forum's pre-eminent Luddite.

All depends on what individual players prefer. No two people are exactly alike. My Strat has the vintage style trem on it (6 screws), but that makes no difference to me anyway, since I never use it and have it locked down flush with the body. Gives my axe a bit more sustain.
