  • Trem Block Replacement

    Does replacing the trem block on a Floyd Rose make a noticeable difference in sustain? For reference, I have whatever Floyd Rose is stock on the Jackson Pro series.

    Many here will say yes......and just as many will say no ! LOL!

    I for one have upgraded all of my OFR equipped guitars with either brass or titanium blocks and have noticed a pronounced difference.

    It's a cheap and reasonably fast mod that is totally reversible so why not give it a try?

      I'm waiting for someone here to play one of the new stone trem blocks.

      I wonder if granite sounds worse than jade or marble.

        I installed a big brass block on my Shannon Soloist and I don't think I noticed any difference.

        My Japanese So-Cal came with a big brass block and Trem Stopper, both of which a previous owner installed. I should remove the Trem Stopper and do a comparison against my stock American So-Cal, but I won't be surprised if I don't hear any difference.

          Upgraded my Model 6 and SDK-075ssh and noticed more of a difference in the Model 6. The SDK had an already good sized block on the Takeuchi.

          I'm thinking of blocking off my 750's Floyd for pulling up (with a chunk of mahogany) to see if the added bridge to body contact makes a difference.
          Any way you could possibly put more shit into your sig?

                Or a brimstone block for demonic tones!

                  I read this huge thread about a month ago on the stone trem block. The owner of the company is kind of a jackass, but apparently some people have had great results and say the block is pretty amazing.
