What are some good 2 point trem's for 2022 Fender MiM Player Series Strat?

[KholaTheKid]

I have a 2022 Fender MiM Player Series strat and want to start changing parts out. What are some good 2 point trem replacements for it? The strat came with a very crooked hole where the whammy bar goes.
I don't want to sand or file anything to fit. I kinda just want it to be easy to replace.

That's the way they are supposed to be. The bar goes in at an angle.

The MiM two point is a pretty good unit already. Some earlier examples already have cold rolled steel blocks, a current one like yours won't.

Personally, I'd replace the block and fit a stainless arm and call it good. In the US, Callaham are the usual choice. Shipping and taxes make them a nonstarter in the rest of the world. In the UK, I ask Kevin Hurley and his blocks and arms are amazing. My MiM two point bridges didn't need anything else except for shorter saddle screws on one.

If any, Gotoh are good choice.

Lift off the loaded pickguard in one piece, store it safely, then get parts and wiring to build up your loaded pickguard masterpiece.

Swapping hardware, tuners, trem, nuts, etc are all follies for the unaware. Guitar parts sellers will chear you on through all the forum posts. Many of the MIM parts are the same found on MIA models.

The only Strat mods I do these days are rewire an SSS model with the Armstrong Blender mod to spin to series HSH and deck or block the trem like Eric Clapton endorses.

What don't you like about cold rolled steel?

I mean, I know stainless, brass, titanium are all the rage... but cold rolled steel is a solid substance as metals go.

Just curious.
