Update:

Okay so it's been a while since I posted an update for you guys so here we go, my Hot Rod Strat is getting some new strings today, I'm going to be setting it up with a set of DAddario EXL110 46-10 gauge strings today, I also swapped out the chrome Schaller Lockmeister Floyd Rose bridge I had installed on it so I could try the Schaller on my BC Rich Warlock guitar as I'm seriously thinking of upgrading the Floyd Rose Special that was on it to a Black Schaller Lockmeister, incidentally the Schaller bridge is virtually a drop-in replacement for the Floyd Rose Special so no mods to the BC Rich Warlock were needed to make it fit, which is a good thing, I also un-installed the six Chrome Gotoh tuners from the Hot Rod Strat neck and used them on the Gold Strat, I used some black tuners from an old Charvette neck as substitutes, they are all still good enough, re-stringing the Hot Rod Strat is going to be the first of two jobs to get both it and the Gold Strat back into a playable state so I can play them at some up and coming band rehearsals.

I think I'm going to go with all black hardware on my Hot Rod Strat since it seems to look better, the chrome jackplate is fine so it's staying as is.
