Hi Sandy,
I have just installed the block that I bought from your eBay store (#5 non
etched serial #). I had a C------m tremolo unit in the guitar prior to
this. I attached the brass block to an after market chrome bridge plate
(looks like copper underneath - when I sanded it level) with a set of
C------m saddles, and I'm still waiting on a standard tremolo arm. I
thought I would leave the C------m unit intact in case I wanted to put it
back ...
After playing for ten minutes I realized that the C------m unit is not
going back in. The difference is very pronounced. Notes are clearer and
respond much better to variations in pick attack. I can now pluck the
string softly and get a decent sounding note and then with harder picking
the harmonics just want to jump right out of the amp. I could never do
this with the C*##*%*m unit. As I mostly play with my amp set clean or
clipping, this is just the sound I am after. I would liken the improvement
that I get with your brass tremolo bock to changing to a better set of
pickups or changing the neck - the difference is very strong and very
positive.
Up until now I had thought that C------m blocks and trem units were the
best available. Your brass block surpasses them by a long shot. I think
your business has a great future. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Sandy,

Tony

Sandy,
 
Your blocks are so far beyond the other ones out there in quality, size and sound.... Yes, it is very noticeable even when not plugged in....  Are the OFR's from Germany made with sintered brass blocks?   I also noticed that the polished out coloration is different from the other half inch blocks out there (with both bottoms polished)....  your bell brass is incredible sounding....
 
You'll find I've paypaled you for another...
 
Thanks and hope things are going well for you...

That's a historical and very cool thing... good thing it wasn't ordered for a client... because I would have had to order another so I could keep the first logoed 37 of yours...  I imagine that when a client gets to see yours compared to the 1/2 inch regular big block, they won't have to stretch in making their decision....  It seems that yours can't be found by googling or dogpiling for a 3/4 inch brass floyd rose block.... good thing I was rooting around to see if anyone was making brass strat blocks and accidentally came across your site.... 

 

Thanks for being you!

Hi there , 
 
    Just to let you know I installed the Trem Block last night. IT FIT PERFECTLY !!!!  thanks for that so much !!!! And because of the contours you made to the lower back bottom of the plate, I still get some nice range & can have the trem floating if I want but will probably set it so that it only lowers the pitch of the strings. 
     I could tell right away while putting the new strings on and intonating the guitar that the sustain was definitely increased. So far, this seems like a real winner. But I have to yet give it the real test which is live playing with my band. That will happen soon and I'm really looking forward to seeing if I can tell the difference this block makes in a band setting. But so far, I'm very excited about having one of these in my strat. I have a gig 10/4 so I'll contact you after that.
 
Best Regards,
 
Greg

Good Evening, Sandy,
This is just a quick note to advise that the BRASS TREMOLO BLOCK arrived today in fine shape. Awesome! (Got to let my strat playin' buddies have a look tomorrow!) I left Positive Feedback for you on eBay.
Hope you make some more of these,... got a feeling at least one of the other players will be wantin' one too.
Thanks, & Best Regards, from a Very Happy Customer!
