Stratocaster Tremolo Bridge
Can I install a Floyd Rose Tremolo on my fender stratocaster?
My stratocaster already has a tremolo system so is it necessary to buy any other parts aside from the bridge itself?
Yeah, sure you can do it, but the better question is why? You are going to have to buy the unit, and then pay a luthier a hell of a lot of money to install it. It is not something you can do yourself unless you are really good at routing, drilling, and a lot of other stuff.
Most strats have a fulcrum type trem. The Floyd is a locking and floating type trem. They are very, very different animals. There are two parts to a Floyd Rose: the bridge unit and then the locking nut. Installing both parts is pretty intense work. You have to modify the guitar a lot to make them fit.
If you are really sure that you want a Floyd on your guitar, perhaps you should sell your axe and then get one of these:

I'm pretty sure it has an original Floyd Rose on it rather than a licensed version (the original is much better).
