I'm thinking of buying a clone with a Strat style tremolo. Once I have that I'll replace the tremolo with a Trem King. Problem is, I don't know which copies have Strat style bridges. Anyone know who makes Mosrite clones in this style?

If you want to check out what a Trem King is, Here's a video:

I think Dillion makes a clone with the Strat style System on them ......

Wilson Brothers - I think the models are VM65 and VM75?

The Fullerton brand of guitars has a strat style tremolo in it. It is pretty much a Mosrite clone.

Now I found it, here it is one on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Mosrite-electric-gu ... 1|294%3A50

Kev, you're right, that's the one I was thinking of, not the Dillion although Dillion is a very
decent copy in the Budget Market. Also, Dillion's Trem System recently switched to a separate
'tune-o-matic' style bridge and also with a modern 'Teisco" version of a Mosrite 'Half Trem'
System (like the ones found on the later Celebritys and Combos). The Fullerton is the one .

That and the Dillion guitars had a Bigsby style tremolo unit with a tune-o-matic style bridge.

Thanks, I'll be keeping Fullerton in mind. I don't know what quality their instruments are though so I'll look up reviews.

Edit: There's only one review on harmony central and he rated it pretty low, As a 5. This doesn't give me much to work with but his biggest complaint was the tremolo which I was going to replace anyway... I think I'll look up more reviews of this guitar.

I've been told that they're pretty decent but the $650 price tag is pretty steep for a guitar that originally sold for $180. These guitars are no longer being made and the web store called music123 was the exclusive dealer for them.

Yeah, These were sold less than two years ago so there's no way I'm buying it for much over $300. I have to wonder though how good the sound is though, I may have to resort to building my own copy.
