Did this recently with a Jackson Dinky with a cheap and nasty licensed floyd with next to no tuning stability. Cut a block of wood to size and stuck it in place and tightened up the springs to keep it locked. You can still do a dive bomb if you want but the guitar plays better, holds its tuning perfectly and the good wood-to-sustain-block contact has really increased the sustain a noticeable amount. A great way to make a cheap instrument perform a hell of a lot better!

I used to think I could get away from floyd style guitars, but tracking in the studio sucks with stable bridge/locking tuner equipped guitars, the floyd does so much well, the double locking aspect is great and the fine tuners are just so useful. At the end of the day, it turned out that a blocked floyd is the perfect stable bridge guitar, and really the best bridge you can opt for, as blocked it beats everything but an Evertune, and floating, it's simply the best there is

Hipshot also makes a really really handy gadget they call the TremSetter. It's an additional spring (more or less) for your conventional strat-style tremolo system. Once it's set it makes the strat style trem absolutely SOLID. Use one on all my strats, and it makes that trem (which feels awesome, but historically detunes the guitar) absolutely rock solid. I never buy a strat now without putting one in.

It helps to mark the position of the saddles with a pencil before removing them. I'm a big fan of billet trem blocks, steel also works and is brighter and more aggressive sounding. But both steel and brass are way better than the pot metal blocks you find on cheaper trem units. Cheaper bridges with pot metal saddles can be similarly upgraded to stainless or brass and the effect is even more noticeable than swapping the trem block. Conversely, graphtech and similar saddles are darker and warmer sounding than brass or steel but give better sustain than pot metal.

What I want to know is why it's called a tremolo bridge, when it's causing a vibrato effect. I definitely heard more sustain and maybe a slight boost in the low-mids somewhere. I think the trem-stopper is probably helping the sustain as well as the brass block. It is adding another point of contact between body and sustain block that is more direct than those between the block and the bridge screws.

Bea: Great vid as always. I have the FU-tone brass block on all my Floyd-equipped axes for years and love them. Those coated springs are a "new" thing to me though - I haven't bothered with them, but may try them out now. :) The Tremsetter? Not so much for me - I have one Ibanez Floyd that I have blocked off using the old stack of coins method. :) These kinds of upgrades, IMO, are nearly impossible to hear. This stuff really is more of a feel-thing for the player. I think people should be realistic in terms of what to expect with mods/upgrades like this. The effect on actual tone and sustain is quite subtle in my experience, but I do love the FU-tone blocks for the perceived feel and confirmation bias of supposedly increased sustain. haha :D Question for you: why do you prefer your springs angled like that? Like so many guitar things, there is endless debate on this. Personally, I am just a traditional 3 straight spring guy. I have heard and read many differing views on this. What are your thoughts on the angled method? cheers bro!

Does your software not show a difference in sustain? What does the sound wave look like before and after! That guitar looks amazing! Is it solid mahogany? A 2 piece? Did you say you had 60's on that? What are your string gauges on it?

Can you still pull the Floyd up if you remove the black screw of the trem-stopper but leave the actual L-shaped brass piece on?

Yes - you can set it a little further back and engage it or disengage when you want to.

Very cool Rabea, would love to hear your recommendations for tunings for heavier material. I have some sound design to do for a tv show for a metal sytle band. I'm sure your using C tunings and such, but would love to know the string gauges your using too. I play 10's and 11's on my gits, but I'm much more of a funk/alternative style. Great stuff again dude. Keep on rocking it.
