Titanium Floyd Rose Big-Blocks are the shiznit.

Alright, so after playing this thing a week with the new block, the wow-factor has not worn off...these things are amazing. Guess I need to start saving my pennies for one for the Charvel mutt rebuild...

[GAR]

I could make these things in my sleep AND mount them for individual string piezo outputs, ala Graphtech's bridge saddles.

I bet if someone made an identical one from aluminum you couldn't tell the difference..

[jhale667]

You could shit and fall back in it, no one would care...

[GAR]

True, but only you can hear the difference and be willing to pay for it.

I like plywood. I'm tone-deaf!

[jhale667]

Cough, cough..(plywood)..cough...

True, but only you can hear the difference and be willing to pay for it.

Well, you sure as shit couldn't, plywood boy.

But Steve Stevens, Warren Demartini, Phil Collen, Michael Wilton apparently can.
And gee, aren't the $30K EVH replicas outfitted with Brass Big Blocks?


Actually, everyone who's familiar with my guitar's tone prior to the install that have heard it so far have noticed the improvement. But thanks for playing. Douche-nozzle.

You have six youtubes with no singer.

You are so pathetically obvious, bitch-boy. Don't hate, appreciate.

You have six youtubes with no singer.

And you're a racist troll asshat who's douchbaggery has made you a pariah at pretty much every Roth site you post at...with a plywood guitar collection, and a serious inferiority complex, turns out!
Post something that shows how much better you (and your singer) are, or STFU.
Much like pictures of your imaginary guitar collection, or an erection in the presence of a female.... you won't be able to produce.

No singer? That's all you've got? Really, GAyr? Not to mention I've previously posted vids of my last cover band, so there goes that assertion...congrats on owning yourself...

And it's seven, Sperm-burp.

Your life in pictures...



Oh, yes you are, and yes you have.
Do the world a favor...got lie down in the eastbound land of the 101 during rush hour. Or the 405, you pick~!

[jhale667]

Here, let me just respond in advance to your next lame post...

[GAR]

Songwriting's an artform, show me some canvas big-talker!

You first, whiner.

[kwame k]

You first, whiner.

Just show a pic of any guitar you own, si-gar and I'd be impressed.

Enough of Clay's tiresome guitar and block envy...

M'kay...back on fucking topic...

So far I've tracked a lead and two rhythm tracks over the weekend with the Titanium-equipped Koa Strat. In the case of the two rhythms, I re-did tracks with the same emulation I'd done them in prior to the install (a Soldano, for anyone interested in the specifics), specifically to A/B them.
Survey says...clearer...fatter. Punchier. Better. Oh yeah.

Probably will keep the Brass tracks ("sounds like a Judas Priest album" ) as they mesh well and compliment each other, but I'm definitely preferring the Titanium overall.

I mount my pickups directly into the body, with shims made up of stacked 5-gallon and 1-gallon stir sticks free from Home Depot and from that, have plenty of sustainregardless of what bridge I use. But I prefer the Fender trem for recording something, or the Kahler trem if the recording needs the divebomb stuff and so does EVH apparently..

I cut one strip from the 5-gallon stick, it's about 1/4" thick, and the width is about 3/8" or just enough to snug-fit under both the height adjust legs, the 4 bezel screws, and the thru-plate bobbin screws.

Then, a couple strips of the 1-gallon sticks that are about 1/8" thick are glued in layers then tucked under the strings until I have just about the right height before I drill 1/16" holes just to the left of the height-adjust leg's hole, then bury a small #3 phillips-head screw thru the wood-and-metal leg sandwich, into the body dabbed with a little white glue.

The white glue is a weak bond but a good one, it allows you to remove the pickup should you remove the screw, and wiggle the pickup out from side to side.

More YouTube fun...

Even on the crappy sound quality of this video, you can still hear every note of the solo in this clip...crazy clarity with this block...

Now I wanna try one with the Graph Tech saddles...
