The Player Stratocaster Left-Handed uses a modern 2-point tremolo, but the body routing underneath is genuinely asymmetric to fit the block and arm, not just a mirrored cutout, so a right-handed tremolo assembly will not physically fit this guitar. Genuine left-handed tremolo assemblies and locking tuners exist from major makers and are worth seeking out specifically, rather than assuming a standard part works reversed.

This is a genuine left-handed tremolo assembly with the correct block geometry for this guitar's body routing, not mirrored hardware. The open question is spacing, this bridge is documented at 54mm string spacing while this guitar's stock spacing is 52.4mm, a real difference worth checking before buying.

Fits the standard Strat single-coil route with no routing needed. Humbucker-style pole pieces are not typically staggered like a single-coil, so handedness is not a real concern here. You will need to solder it in.
A humbucker built into a single-coil-sized housing, drops into the standard Strat route with no routing. Humbucker-style pole pieces are not staggered the way vintage single-coils are, so this is not expected to carry the same handedness-specific stagger risk as this guitar's staggered pickup options.

Fits the standard Strat pickup route regardless of handedness, but this set is explicitly staggered. Check that a left-handed stagger is available before buying. You will need to solder it in.
Standard Strat single-coil route, not affected by handedness for mounting. This is explicitly a staggered-pole design by name, so a genuine left-handed stagger would need to be confirmed and ordered to avoid a string-balance issue.
