Upgrading my Squier Strat

[JohnnyGtar]

I have a Squier SE Strat. Great mod platform because the bodies are full thickness. Gotta love a nice fat tax return! LOL

The guitar is going to get this stuff installed:

DiMarzio DP116 HS-2 - Neck and Middle

DiMarzio DP403 N.O.S. Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues - Bridge...the first ones with A5 polepieces. (I like a hotter bridge pickup)

StewMac Squier Upgrade Kit: Gotoh Magnum Lock Tuners, Highwood Saddles and an improved string tree. https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-h...ets/squier-stratocaster-hardware-upgrade-kit/

Any recommendations for a new Trem block?

I'll post pics when it's done being overhauled.

Man, some of the Squier guitars are killers. My neighbor has a cheap Squier Tele and that thing just wails. My Strat SE was made by a company called AXL, and these guitars came in the inexpensive Strat Packs in the early 2000's. The neck on this this feels like a lot of high-end guitars that I've sold and played.

I wonder if @Scot would make another brass block for you.

FU-Tone otherwise - https://www.fu-tone.com/product-category/big-blocks/big-blocks-st/
But I have no experience with them.
