Killer Guitar Components' Floyd Hardware upgrade kit?

[BloodRose]

Any of you guys tried this? If so, could you tell any difference? Ive been very impressed with the blocks and claws Ive used from them. Just wondering if these parts make any tonal difference?
The kit includes:
Brass fine tuner screws
Stainless steel string lock screws
Titanium String lock inserts

here is the link to the kit:

I have a guitar I bought used that the hardware is pretty rusty. when I put the block on it, I had to clean and oil up the screws quite a bit.
Wondering too if the ti inserts make much tonal diff?
Thanks for any input!

I don't think either of these parts affects tone. But you are going to wind up with one shiny floyd, bling-bling!

The titanium inserts won't crack like those made of zinc but you can still lose them if you're not careful.

I can see the Big Brass Block Change difference, but I don't think the other parts are necessarily beneficial "tone-wise".

I can see the stainless steel screws because they won't rust or strip out as easily, but I don't think the brass fine tuner strings are an improvement.

Agreed! The other parts are purely cosmetic.

I have 2 of there Big Brass Blocks and 2 Brass Claws. The quality etc... is amazing.

I will always add there products to my Floyd equipped guitars.

Ditto! I was using some lower cost blocks from ebay and they a ok, but I switched to the Killer blocks for all my fav guitars. I usually just replace the blocks but did a Claw and springs on my top player and am doing the same upgrade on my other Charvel. Block, springs and claw.

Thanks for the info everyone! I kinda doubted there would be much tonal benefit with the screws and stuff.
