Re: Talk To Me About Floyd Rose Sustain Blocks. I have Quite A Few Questions

Ah, the lesson learned that different does always translate to improved. One mans bright is another cut, and so on.

I try to remember what change takes place so I can apply it later. A larger block added midrange to your ears? Keep that in mind if another guitar lacks it. Try to not get caught in the trap of absolutes. Just because it did or did not have a desired effect, don’t be afraid to try it elsewhere

That reminds me of when I converted my Les Paul from a Nashville TOM to an ABR-1; the change was a huge improvement. Naturally I also tried the converter kit on my Explorer and SG, and I didn't care for it on either of them. The ABR-1 made my Explorer sound like thin, tinny crap while the SG was different but not what I'd call an improvement.

You may think this is nuts, but try changing the threaded post. Stainless is brighter than brass or zinc. I also replace the short OEM studs for longer that go deeper in the guitar. The longer studs has more effect on the thicker LPs, but worth a shot. I try to transfer as much vibration as I can thru those studs to the guitar.
