Fender MIM Bridge pieces VS Asian

Question:
I am building a partsocaster and I have Asian Squier bridge parts. they seem, superficially, to be better than the MIM pieces that are stamped steel. Are the stamped steel MIM's better? The Asian stuff appears to look more MIA.
Just asking because they are on a more expensive guitar and if I can upgrade, now is the time to do it.

Answer:
No Opinions???? Not one???
OK, I will post a comment and you can leave your opinions as long you comment on the MIM bridge pieces.
Led Zep is the greatest band of all time.
Squier guitars are equal to, or excede Fender MIA quality.
Epiphones blow Gibson away.
Zach Wylde is cool.
I would gig and tour with my line 6 spider III 15 watt and its 6 insane rock star settings.
Led Zep really is the greatest band of all time.
Thanks in advance.

Stamped steel... better... ?
Stamped steel with give you a more authentic vintage strat tone than cast pot-metal saddles like those fitted to the squier. More snap and sparkle. If you like more modern strat sounds then try some of the stainless steel cast saddles that GFS sell.
Might also be worth comparing the weight of the 2 trems - more recent MIM strats come with a full sized trem block, which is meant to improve tone. If the MIM trem is more substantial than the squier then that's probably a better trem to use, although don't expect a massive difference. I recently swapped out a lightweight older style trem for a full size steel block wilkinson unit and it may have made a small change in tone.
As for the rest of your comments - that's your opinion, and you're welcome to it. ;)
