Jared. I have a Fender Clapton sig model. It came setup from the factory with a block of wood blocking off the Trem (apparently this is due to EC using this setup). I also tightened the springs as much as possible so I wouldnt get any intonation issues when bending multiple strings at the same time or when bending one high string with a low open string ringing. It works very well. The piece of wood is cut to the perfect size and thickness to sit behind the trem from underneath).
I also have a trem on my Tele but I tighten that down so it gives no more than 1/2 step
either way....
IMO the wood blocking the strat trem has 0 effect on the tone. In fact...that particular EC strat is my least fav guitar because its pickups sound really bad... dark and muddy...but thats another story
