I thought these would be a nice thing to add to my strat, to make it a bit more my own,

http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/STRAT_ ... GOLD_SKSGD
http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tremol ... tic_AGD400

or these (haven't decided on the colour yet, and maybe on one colour will fit)

http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/STRAT_ ... ACK_KB-240
http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/5_WAY_ ... BLACK_SSKB
http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/product/Tremol ... stic_AB400

I'm not sure if they will fit my MIM 2011 Standard though. Fender doesn't list the size of the slot of the pickup selector switch tip or the size of the control knob slot, or the size of the whammy bar tip on their website, understandably enough. I know they're cheap, but it would cost almost as much as them to send them back if they don't fit, which would be a pain. I thought I'd ask here, someone might know. Perhaps Brad?

The latest MIM Standard Strats use Oak-Grigsby selector switches and CTS pots, same as the American made guitars. If those parts are made for American guitars they will fit your guitar.

The Trem arm has a different size thread where it screws into the trem block (metric vs American), but I do not know about the overall diameter of the arm where the knob fits. I would bet it is the same as the American trem arm, though.

i put chrome knobs and switchtip on my 2009 mim strat with no problem. when i replaced ny white pickguard with a white pearloid, i didn't like the white controls. took the old ones off, popped on the chrome-looks great
these look the same as mine

good luck! 8)
