This bridge sounds exactly the same as any quality Fender Vintage type trem, including the Callaham.
However the advantages lie in the fact that you can lock these saddles down, after setting your action, intonation etc.
Trev Wilkinson has taken the old Fender type, and eliminated it?s shortcomings like: poor tuning stability, string breakage etc.
With this bridge you can really use the whammy bar, and it?ll stay in tune! And nothing budges when changing strings.
If great sound, and great playability are more important to you than, vintage authenticity etc., then you should try one of these on your strat! You?ll like it.
Action, Fit, & Finish

It came pretty well set-up, but I do all of my own adjustments, and it didn?t take long to get this set up exactly.
Workmanship is excellent, beautiful nickel plating.
It?s easy on your right hand palm too, no screws sticking up in the air!
Looks real fine.
