I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what would be the best way to block a Strat tremolo? I never use them and would like to improve the tone at the same time.

I've heard a few different things. Obviously the easiest way would be to run 5 trem springs and tighten the plate down all the way.

I've also heard of people using blocks of wood behind the trem. It seems that this would help the tone of the guitar by allowing more contact area for the bridge to resonate. In this case, wouldn't it be beneficial to use something like brass? This Strat has a die-cast bridge, which I'll eventually replace.

Does anyone make a solid trem block/bridge that fits snug in the cavity?

any ideas?
