Whaddaya mean I "might" be using a Big Block? I'm going Titanium for this one...
And, yeah, it's an excellent idea.
I think I have room for almost a minor third on the G-string... but that's due to the bridge setup itself, not the block cavity.
What I find interesting is that my Warmoth body from '96 has more than enough room for the Big Blocks that didn't exist back then (think Performance was already making their version but theirs is shaped differently)...it's like they had a premonition...lol OR since they're an offshoot of the whole original Boogie Bodies/Charvel thing from the 70s-80s when they devised their recessed rout they used one of the bridges from when Floyd was still making them in his garage, and they HAD larger blocks...who knows, but they got that right the first try!
Didn't the first Floyds originally come equipped with brass blocks?
And, yeah, it's an excellent idea.
Which also reminds me: Did you have enough room for the block to allow upwards play in your Musikraft body?
It's seemingly a fairly minor alteration - but that tiny extra bit of wiggle-room equals about another whole-step in range...
