Fender American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo vs Gotoh Wilkinson Tremolo

[lafromla1]

I have two strats with Fender American Vintage Synchronized Tremolos and I made my Warmoth with the Gotoh Wilkinson Tremolo and now I can't stand playing the strats.  My hand just feels so much more comfortable on the Wilkinson.  Is there any way to replace the Fender trems with the Wilky?  Is it an easy change?  I wnated my next 'W' to have a fixed trem but since I am liking the feel of the Wilky, I might just put one on and block it from moving.

Shouldn't be too bad as you already have one with the proper trem studs to measure and mark where the stud holes need drilled. Just make sure the studs are lined up and in the exact right spot and drill really really strait.
