I have one of the Japanese? H Marvin signature strats from a few years back, the thread is well worn in the relatively soft trem block. I could drill the block and put a threaded sleeve (hellicoil) in there or is there a new block available that will fit or is the other choice a complete trem unit?
Thanks

Yes the Wilkinson replacement unit works a total treat on the Jap Squier Marvin in my case.
Excellent value for money, and fits well into existing cavity in the body
Saves a small fortune on premium quality plumbers tape!!!

A member of our french Shads' forum is using the Wilkinson WV6 on his two Strats and reports excellent results.
