Hello All.
Would it be a significant improvement to change out the tremelo block system
on my 60th Anniversary MIM Strat to a USA trem? Also would there need to be any modification done to the body?
Thanks

The American vintage trems are wider than the MIM versions, it would require a lot of work. If you are looking for an upgrade, try Callaham (or similar manufaturer) they would make a retrofit requiring no modicfication.

There have a been a number of threads asking this same question recently...

The answer to your question is "no". It is difficult to go from MIM-vintage to either (a) 2-point or (b) MIA-vintage. However, if you have the older pre-06 smaller MIM trem block, then upgrade the trem block for sure (just get a used one cheap off of eBay). Also, changing out to block saddles is an easy change, too, if you wish.
