The specs say : Ibanez Edge Zero II-7, just that. There is nothing "floyd" stamped on it, and it is different design than my floyds (better IMO). The block has nothing stamped on it, IIRC. Here are more pics of this :

Another consideration : Granite seems to be electrically conductive. Will the resistance be low enough to act as a conductor between control circuit and bridge?

I can see from your pictures that the bar assembly doesn't mount in the block.
If you contact Ibanez and ask if that model guitars trem will work if you install a block from a Edge Lo Pro then you are set.
What model is your guitar?
Granite is not conductive yet I will post about that once we determine what you have other wise I will post deatails about the grounding of the block.
Every unit sold comes with product data that has all that information which i'll post here soon.
 
Re: Floyd Rose Stone Tone Tremolo Blocks

While I am cool with other companies having a presence on this forum, I ain't cool with just spamming threads (I found a few). This always turns out the same way- come here, spam us with an ad, and then get attacked for the claims in the ad. If people specifically ask about your products, you can answer, but being spammy will get you kicked out. The mods decide what is over the line. Otherwise, try to be a member of the forum first. If this turns into another page of defending claims made in your ad, I'm deleting the thread.

I've know Seymour since 05 and never really had time to get with forums in general being so busy but a recent google search came up with some older threads here asking is there any one who can tell me any other info on the rock blocks than the press release floyd rose put out that tells me nothing. Being this forum has the rep as the best on the net and for good reason I decided to join. If there is a vendor place I needed to be then I was unaware but responding to questions is all that's happening on this thread. I have been in the industry since 2005. I'm not here to spam just shed some light on a pc a granite that is a very controversial topic that to most don't understand. Even though I signed up years ago I decided to post since now the product has been on the market now for 2 1/2 years with floyd rose and wanted to talk to those had questions. When you say "Spammy" to be clear, what do you consider spammy? explanation of the product? I'm not posting ads, just some testimonies.. Quotes..

No problem, I checked with Ibanez and they said that the Edge block is compatible with yours so you're good.

Here is the grounding information you asked about:

Ground Strip Information

For those of you who have single-grounded electronics in your guitars, we include a .020 copper grounding strip that's recommended to be installed between the StoneTone Rock Block and your baseplate to counteract any possible grounding issues. A few users have experienced buzz in single-grounded guitars after installing the rock block, especially if the only ground point on the guitar was at the tremolo claw, but were able to easily nullify it by adding this grounding strip. While this isn’t a particularly frequent problem, it is recommended that you install the strip on single and rarely double-grounded guitars with your block merely as a precaution, (you can never have enough ground) so that if you experience buzz or hum after installing your block, you or your trusted tech can easily run an extra ground from the tremolo claw ground wire and solder it to the strip, after which your guitar is guaranteed to be quiet. If your guitar is triple-grounded, you can disregard this precaution.

Have a rockin day. :usa2:
 
 
Re: Floyd Rose Stone Tone Tremolo Blocks

This is becoming spam because this thread is an 6-page long advertisement of your blocks. You're coming off as relentless, stubborn (again, 6 pages - it's mostly you. Sometimes you post again when no one even said anything - the thread was dead), and you're getting very defensive when people say they aren't interested/they think it is snake oil. It's completely shameless advertising, and it's a bit of an aggressive type. That is why I won't even bother considering your product or your very long rebuttals to any posts.

And those testimonies and quotes ARE ads, because it is being displayed to promote your product, and are being posted even when no one asked for any of them. The forum isn't your advertising kiosk.

You spammed a thread asking for pickup advice with your ad with giant pictures (I deleted it). We don't have vendor accounts here, as this is an official Seymour Duncan forum. Friends of Seymour follow the same rules as everyone else here. One more time- if someone asks about your products, you can answer. You cannot come here and promote your products in a thread where someone is asking which pickup to choose. You cannot come here and promote your products in threads that aren't asking direct questions about your products. You can try being a member of our community here, and you will find that our users here won't be as distrustful of your claims once they get to know you. Please be respectful of the rules.

Exactly. If you want a warmer reception, you have to put in the work and make yourself a part of the community.

Why don't you spend some time introducing yourself around the forum, add to the discussions (there are plenty of rooms and different topics to choose from) and make yourself something more valuable to us than just a "hit-it-and-quit-it" advertiser?

Seriously, if you want to be a constructive part of the forum, we welcome you with open arms.

Just don't start off every post with "You should buy my block..." and you'll be fine :)

I'm glad to be a part of this awesome community, its just that I wear almost all the hats here at Stone Tone beside the legal hats and I am so busy with the many lines of blocks we make and such that I didn't mean to come of that way at all. I was going to reply to a post that was 3 yrs old of someone asking about the blocks so instead of reviving an old post I started the way I did. Sorry if any of you took it that way of a spammer and by far I am NOT a sort of hit it a quit it advertiser. I post then sign off because I have a water jett to tend to cnc and others to keep up in the shop and so when any one posts I try to log back on to reply within a reasonable time frame. So please don't misunderstand me as a spammer that is not my intent here at all. I am just as excited on my products as anyone and being new I want to converse to any who have questions than argue. I started out in 2001 with developing internal mods for guitars to work in conjunction with the stone top which was a great feat yet costly and tedious which is why I ventured in other areas which landed me with the simplified yet complex tremolo blocks for most styles / brands. I look forward to converse with you all, it will just take time for me to get intertwined in many interesting threads I've read being my time is taxed.. Here was 1 of my modified explorers I gave away at 2006 Namm for the Little Kids Rock foundation along with many other companies to help raise money for schools that don't have music classes or a budget for instruments.. So I put up my best prototype and gave it to them to auction off. The event was call "the Muriel Anderson Allstar Guitar night" That was where I met Seymour Duncan. Here is a pic of that explorer and the guy who bought it. The ex VP of Auralex Acoustics David Harbison. And the other 2 is James burton with my Modified 50th anniversary tele that got Seymour's attention that he started snapping several pics of James. And me at the bottom under the banners of some of the supporters of the event.

Re: Floyd Rose Stone Tone Tremolo Blocks

Okay, now that I have some space, I'd like to tell you all about a new trem block for vintage guitars that I've been working on. It's made out of solid potato. My original experiments were using cake, which had a nice mellow tone, but I kept eating them.

So i tried potato ... many, in fact. Finally, after several years, some top agriculturalists have created a hybrid potato for me that combines the sonic qualities of some of the legendary tone potatoes in some of music's most classic recordings.

The potato will age a little quicker than the guitar it's fitted to, to allow you to get the vintage potato sound long before you expire from old age. Some early issues with harmful bacteria have now been resolved, which has improved both tone and stability a vast amount. The blocks are machined by hand, using engineer-grade pointy sticks to drill the string and mounting holes.

A new potato string block will sound juicy and fat, and feel firm with a little bounce. As it ages the tone will thin a little, but with a slightly more crusty edge ... definitely the real deal vintage potato sound. The feel evolves to become slightly more 'rubbery' in a good way, with a slight unpredictability. Classic vintage electric guitar !

Yup, the science is in.

Normally I charge $347 for these blocks, but at the moment I can offer them exclusively to SDUGF members for the low low price of $289.

Coming soon will be the new Cheese Block, which is currently about to go into production, and I feel it may provide the perfect tone for a moderately small but seriously dedicated group of sub-genres who have thus far struggled to be competitive due to inadequacies in their trem blocks.

(also in the design stage is the Ham Block ... more on that soon ... )
 
Re: Floyd Rose Stone Tone Tremolo Blocks

I just want to confirm that I have tried Crusty's new "PotaTone" potato-based sustain blocks and they are AMAZING!

I realize I'm too dumb to understand the complex science behind it, but the natural potato material definitely works! It's certainly better than the less-natural products I've tried in the past.

Furthermore, I'd estimate at least a 40% improvement in perceived signal strength, maybe more. The volume increase is more noticeable when I strum hard, but there seems to be at least some difference when I pick normally, as well.

Yes, Crusty's potato blocks may seem pricey, but they definitely solved the crappy tone issues I was having because of my aftermarket pickups. Plus, the blocks taste great, too!

I think they're worth every penny and I plan on putting them on ALL of my guitars as soon as I get another line of credit from the bank!

Highly recommended!
