I finally broke down & bought a new vintage-fit tremolo for one of my homegrown Strats. The price was ridiculously cheap at less than #30 for all the stuff. Anybody have experience w/this product?

I received it via UPS today. BEAUTIFUL bridge/trem assy. Too bad is was the WRONG SPACING. Now I gotta send it back
Bummer! I used one of their blocks on a killer Strat I threw together. That guitar had a Yngwie pup in the neck and bridge, a non functioning mid pup (pulled the bars off an MIM pup), & wired like a Tele. Wish I woulda kept that guitar... It was a MIM bought at a local gun store for $150 with a hardshell case... Damn that was a sweet beast!

After they made such a big deal out it having correct spacing in the ad? That sux.
They're making me jump through a bunch of hoops now, sending pods from every conceivable angle. You'd think the one w/the ruler in it would suffice
lol
Just when I was about to give up (reading a bunch of horror stories on the 'net about trying to get stuff returned/refunded w/GFS) I got an email saying that the correct trem has already been shipped out & they will contact me w/a return label for the wrong trem. My faith in humanity has been restored
Good for you! I've had great CS from them.

What ever became of this?

They sent me the bridge I ordered w/a UPS return label in the box. I gave them back the incorrect bridge & installed the correct one.
It works fine, has cleared up some problems I originally thought were associated w/the frets, & away I go!
The trem block is no different than your basic, garden-variety block, though. You have to order the special GFS block (w/the shallow string counter-sink) separately. I misread the ad copy. Still a great deal, considering.
Gotcha! I'd ordered their special block for a Strat I'd built several years ago, it definitely improved the tone.

Yes, I'm hoping to invest in at least one of those soon-
