you said this last time you talked about mexican strats and it still doesn't make sense. regardless of what number system is used to make the measurement the object is still the same size. considering the mexican strat upgrade on the Callahan page doesn't actually include a bridge... (it's a block, saddles, and a bar). the issue is not the number system but the spacing between the screws, it's something to consider if you have a slim vs. standard bridge as well, regardless of where it's built.
@reiko - being that you're a lefty let me plant the seed for LTD guitars into your head. they sell their lefty models at the same price as their regular right handed models. the quality varies throughout the series though, a 1000 model is obviously way better than a 200.
