Hi Peter, I fitted the Callaham vintage block in my Custom Shop 1956 NOS Stratocaster some five or six years ago. Along with the Callaham stainless steel tremolo arm it is, ( IMHO ), a worthwhile investment.
It's worth knowing that the original tremolo block was solid steel so soundwise there was, ( again only my opinion ), a slight improvement in sustain etc.
The real and dramatic improvement was, no more wobbly tremolo arm. It stays exactly where you put it without being stiff.
I can't comment on anything else as that's all I did to that guitar.
To know and have known the love of a little dog is a truly wonderful thing.
