Step 1: Buy superstrat.
Step 2: Buy big brass block to tame out high end.
Step 3: Join death metal band. Tune down to C. Realise taking the brass block out again is a PITA.
Step 4: FML.

Re: This trem is.... uh, colorful!! Ti trems..
Darth, had some time to reread/readdress some things.. What is reservation with Hantug? (sp?) Also, your point about the tolerances makes sense. I had never had a problem with an orig floyd before, but when I bought my US Charvel, one of the insert blocks was broken, so that is why I went with Ti replacements.. Durability mainly. I like what you and Lone were saying about more natural sound transference. Do you guys feel a benefit to sustain with the Ti? Like the big block concept, I can wrap my head around mass adding sustain. And even a larger than stock Ti block would add mass.. But, seems to me weight would also be a benefit. (not to the player's back tho..) But one end is clamped down.. not going anywhere and the more you stabilize the other end (weight) the solidity would make for better sustain. (like a hard tail) So, in my thought process, using the lighter weight material for the block, would be less weight and less solidity. So does the Ti still add the beef to the tone?? Thus is also the reason Ive upgraded to stainless saddle locking screws and all. They add some girth. Ive mentioned before, I do have the Hantug Ti block I bought that I need to install one of these days.. But unlike my large brass blocks, it doesnt appear to be larger than stock.. Also, I hope the stock mounting screws work with it, as it didnt come with any others..
Thanks for the input
