Block Party

According to the sales blurb, the biggest tonal improvement you can make to a Strat is to install the Callaham trem block. I'm not sure I totally agree, but I'm very impressed with the results. The block cost £50 and was surprisingly easy to fit. It replaced the stock zinc block, which was a little lighter. The mass and hardness of the new stainless steel block feels much better - the guitar is surprisingly more clear unplugged, and the sustain is improved too. All things considered, money well spent.
