    My Jay Turser

    Yes the trem works on the Strat-o-Tele

    The trem on the Black Widow is of unknown origin as i bought a strat copy years ago for parts and it was fitted to it as a modification by the previous owner.

    Looks like a Kahler Trem System.

    Definitely not a Kahler flat mount. I replaced the whammy on mine with a Kahler for most of the time I owned it. A Kahler has an axle that rolls the strings back over fixed rollers. This is really a very fancy knife-edge trem with self contained internal springs. There is no back cavity like a Strat or Floyd style bridge. Just a massive front rout.
