Hi Bill,
I own a 97' CIJ Vista series JagMaster with a Squier vintage type trem,
which I also play a lot.
The guitar is still stock (Although I'm making a White Pickguard at the
moment for it)
I haven't had any problems so far with the bridge or string breakage. I
did put in an extra spring because I also use 0.11's but roundwounds.
If you have a lot of string breakage there is a chance that you need to
check the saddles, perhaps need to file away some irregulatities that
might cause the string breakage.
I use to have a Ibanez with a 2 point hole trem bridge which I reall
disliked. I personally like the vintage type 6 hole trem more, since I
feel it's more stabile, but that's just me.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] V. 6-Hole vs Std. 2-Hole
Does the Strat. vintage 6-hole trem. bridge really have better tone
than the Std. 2-hole trem bridge? While I'm considering options for
this guitar, has anyone replaced a 2 hole with a 6 hole? Is it that
the Squire bridge is inferior quality?
I do play it hard, working out on a lot of tremelo picking.
I have a CIJ Squire Stagemaster ("Strat") and after playing it
constantly since mid-December, it's breaking strings and going out
of tune. The strings, never the same one, always break deep in the
bridge.
It has flatwound 12's, it's nut was professionally cut fo fit, and
springs are on all the claw spaces. I lubricate the nut trees and a
touch on the bridge with graphite lube.
