ta for the screw offer though
The tailpiece section of the vibrato system is not especially good.
The stock bridge needs to waggle slightly to assist with the feel of the system. (Rubber tubing down the "thimbles", around the bridge height screws helps.)
Fitting a Tune-o-Matic bridge will require plugging and redrilling. Strings can snag in the saddle slots. The string to string spacing may not align well with the pickup polepieces.
Once the vibrato is correctly set up, it can be enormous fun.
I’m a Squier fan & love the sunburst & tortoiseshell combo. The witch-hat knobs finish it off nicely.
The pickup cavity is too narrow to accommodate Stratocaster pickups whose output conductors are attached along one edge of the baseplate.
From the Seymour Duncan single coil range, you should be okay with an SSL-3 Hot, SSL-4 Quarter Pound, SSL-5 Custom or their coil tapped equivalent versions.
The Duncan Strat-sized hum-cancelling models will fit but you may have to force the output cables through a 90° turn.*
DiMarzio Track series pickups vary. Older examples have a flanged baseplate that will not fit the cavity. Recent Solderless™ examples do not.
I managed to persuade DiMarzio Brian May model pickups into Jaguar pickup covers. It was a terrible faff but sounded interesting with series/parallel switching.
Lace Sensors will fit.
