        I have one for one of my 3 Green Meanie Projects. I'll post my review when it goes together. I bolted it to a new OFR Floyd. On Fender trems, I do recommend the Callaham steel billet enhanced blocks, plus the cool stainless arms. I have 2 of them and they are awesome in everyway on a Fender Strat. I have 1 on the vintage bridge and one on the 2 point American std. bridge

            I can tell you this. They are heavy. Very good machining work. I'm waiting for the guy to do a run of 32mm blocks for my recessed Floyds with the countersunk backplates, ala Soloists.

              I had one in an old Kramer 1984 and loved it
              it sounded awesome and did everything they say they do- more harmonics, more sustain.
              its great

                i was busting Budman's balls to make some of these for us a while back. he's got the skills and i think the access to a milling machine. but last time i asked him he said there are too many different specs for the screw holes and shit.

                  I'm going to make one myself out of depleted uranium. Now THAT will have some frickin sustain.

                      I'm trying to locate some platinum as we speak. I don't know how well it will do with the machining tooling however. At least if I can do it, I can maintain my reputation!

                        I'm slapping a couple in my guitars over the weekend, will post a review then. I can say that I've already installed one on an OFR, just haven't re-assembled the guitar yet, and yes, they are heavy as shit....

                          OK, believe the hype. Dramatic increase in sustain and projection, even acoustically. I love them. Completely made a believer out of me here...

                              I've made one or two out of stainless steel, but ended up not using them and sold them off, so I'm not really sure how stainless affects tone and sustain. I'd be willing to guess that sustain is pretty good with them, though.
