TREMBLOCK>>PUT IT IN MY GUITAR..WHOO!

[benji657]

all right, so i have a nice little block of wood sitting at the back cavity of my strat now. :laugh2:
improvements? ok:
-VERY VERY RIGID bridge. very stable.
-the guitar seems to vibrate better:when the notes start to ring, i can feel the vibrations along the fingerboard. very cool
-no more strat spring buzz. since there is no more need of tension, i removed four, left one(for grounding purposes) so there is no more irritating spring buzz. yay.
-the notes ring better
-the low E has that spongy feel while the G-B-Estrings have a bit more body.
I don't know about sustain yet, because its late and i haven't plugged into my amp. but i can guess that from the notes ringing more lively, the sustain will somewhat improve.
i do not know what type of wood it is, but its very light and hard. i like it
maybe it seems like im making these up, maybe its because i was expecting them to make an improvement that i unconsciously state they are the bomb. but i'll trust my ears for now. i know some of you may not agree with me..if you don't please state what you disagree with and your reasons for saying so.

thanks for reading,
benji

I wonder if using hardwood as the block is far better than just tightening down the spring claw? I usually just tighten it down flush and tight, then chuck the bar.
I should try the wood block to see what the difference is.
