Don't you have to clearance the vintage strat trem route for a Floyd, tho? I always thought the Floyd routes were a little bigger, but I could be wrong. And no, I don't mean the recess routes.

Aside from that, if what you are saying is true, he could in theory just leave it f'd up the way it is, or at least clean it up a little, and drill for Floyd posts. A Floyd should cover most of that I would think. It's going to contact towards the front and sides mostly anyways, right? A Floyd is wider and longer than a Vintage strat trem, it ought to work.

I'm not saying you are wrong, just throwing Ideas out there. If he has the Floyd on hand, I'd just place it on there quick like and see if it will cover the nasty spot. If it does, he should be good to go. Might save a him little trouble
