Well, I need one...
Back in the 80s I remember that some cheap import strat copies came with uber-crap trems that didn't even have a real solid metal trem block. Instead they used bent metal pieces, shaped sort of like a shallow U-beam, with holes for screwing them into the trem base and (on the other end) for hooking the springs. I had one of those pieces laying around here for years, but must have finally thrown it out. Now I'm assembling an ultra light travel guitar where every ounce counts and I'd like to substitute one of those bent metal blocks for the real block on a 6-screw trem.
This is a long shot but does anyone have one of these things? If not, I'll just have to fabricate something.
