I was having a wonderful perve around Acme Guitar Works website.
Amazed by the variety of Strat tremolo's and even more so the price ranges.

The American Series is $60 ... the Deluxe locking is $240
Then you wander over to the Callaham upgrade area, where there are all ranges of options including a trem block for $60 on its own.

So ... what differences do all these options make?
And where is the sweet spot?
