Builders - drilling and swapping a vintage trem to modern fender 2 point trem

darcym

Builder advice, I'm quite tempted by one of the Lozeu Fender strats, they look great value for money, I'm also looking for a strat with the 2 point trem rather than the vintage style.

In your builders opinions, how hard would it be for a professional / professional standard enthusiast to swap the trem out and drill it for a 2 point trem

Thanks

Sorry dude I meant to comment in your WTB thread t'other day and forgot BUT, as a former staunch advocate of the two post trem over the vintage six screw I've recently become a real convert to the Wudtone CP system and would heartily suggest you try and get your hands on a guitar loaded with one before you commit to drilling out a Strat for a two point.
The Wudtone doesn't quite have the feather light 'flutter' of a two post but it's action is a lot smoother than a standard vintage trem, I'm not sure if it's additional metal plate on the body or the way Andy has recut the pivot points but it really is light years ahead of a normal six screw trem.

I'm in Glasgow and you're welcome to try mine if that's anywhere near you
