Re: Killer Guitar Components' Brass Claw??
I use all three. The brass big block, brass claw, and noiseless high tension springs. I never played with the stock block because when I built the guitar I already had found out about the Floyd upgrades site. Im not sure how much of a difference the brass claw makes but ive heard people say it does make some difference but for sure I can say the springs do make a difference I have no noise from the springs like you would on a normal or vintage strat trem but you don't get as much of a flutter with the high tension springs that is if you even use the flutter technique but for me the springs are great very stable and if your heavy handed or just want more tension from your springs these are the way to go but I can see them having a bigger benefit from people using them for down tuning there guitars I have mine in E standard with 10s and it's fine for me oh and I think also with the higher tension springs if you have a habit of palm muting to hard rest to hard on your floyd while playing these might help with that but honestly for that I would say you just need a better technique.

Love the big block on my EBMM. I got the silent springs and my only issue with them was that I had to scrape off some of the coating to properly ground the springs. Personally, I'm dubious about the tonal effect of a trem claw but since I tend to put Tremol-Nos on all my trem-equipped guitars, it's kind of a moot issue for me.

If you want dive only you can get a L shape big brass block and depending on how big your cavity is you can go with a 37 or 42 size block although with a 42 unless you have a big cavity you wont be able to put on a back plate if you use one that is. Oh and if you want even more tone get the trem stopper the little brass one that screws in and you will get a lil more resonance in your guitar.

Re: Killer Guitar Components' Brass Claw??
I've got the Killer claws in two of my guitars. They don't make one that will fit my Anderson. They look fantastic but I didn't notice any tonal improvement. If you want one do it for looks alone. Floyd Upgrades do a brass claw and I have that in my Anderson. Doesn't look as nice but works just as well.
