Tremolo bar is the main advantage over Fender
I replaced the original tremolo bridge of my Fender Vintera 70s Stratocaster with this ABM bridge as reviews on Thomann were mainly very positive.
However, before I made the switch, I did record the guitar to be able to make a before and after comparison in terms of the sound.
My experience is that overall the original Fender tremolo is as good as the ABM one with the exception that the tremolo bar implementation on the ABM is a much more pleasant experience than the Fender bar.
In terms of the sound, three others and myself could hardly hear any major differences between the recordings of the ABM and Fender tremolo bridges / saddles.
I also found that the tuning stability is almost identical between the two, so no real advantage here either.
In conclusion I am keeping the ABM bridge, but if I would have known what I know now I would not have made the change as for me the only real improvement is the way ABM designed the tremolo bar fixation.

Great upgrade for your Strat. I use it in conjunction with Highwood saddles. It definitely improved the tuning stability for me. Plus, you can use it both as a pop-in or a screw-in arm. My only complaint is a cosmetic one: it only comes with a white tip, and it's not screwed as in Fender arms. So I had to remove the aged white tip from my original Fender arm, use a small piece of sticky tack, and push the tip on the new arm.
PS: Be careful with which exact item you choose. Strats come various construction styles, you make sure to know your guitar's specifications before you order one. There is a PDF guide on the ABM website on which product is for which style.

Substantial upgrade to my previous Wilkinson bridge
I replaced a pretty standard Wilkinson bridge with this one. Even if subtle, the sound difference is there, I believe is what it takes to take an already good sounding strat to a really good one.
I really appreciated the lower tension springs which help with the overall feel of the trem.

The best tremolo unit
ABM tremolo is head and shoulders above all other brands.
I have previously used Fender, Wilkinson and Gotoh, none come close to the quality of machining, chrome plating, smooth precision bolts and turnings and plenty of spares of everything. Spares include all fixing screws, alan bolts and even an alan key for adjusting the saddles.
The ABM 5050 series of tremolo also has a multitude of mounting hole and string spacings so very easy to pick exactly what is needed.
In my experience the cheaper Fender sounds tinny, the expensive Fender and Gotoh tremolos help to give a warmer sound. The ABM definitely gives a warm, rich and velvety sound.
Cannot fault this product in any way, from item selection to what you get and sound it give. Expensive but for me worth every penny.

Tremolo is perfect.
Pros - OK in tune, craftsmanship great, German quality
Cons - teflon mount/stop for tremolo arms inside tremolo hole. In my oppinion better construction/solution is old tip = little spring.
