Floyd Blocks - lreese - 02-02-2015
So what's the current opinion on the best Floyd block material?
I've got a Brass Floyd branded heavy block ready to install.
Was looking at the the thing and thought I might be able to do a steel one easily and a bell bronze if I can find a piece of material. A metal cutting chop saw should suffice.
There's different brass alloys too - got to be sure not to get a leaded alloy.
Not too interested in Titanium or Aluminum (Which IMO sucks on my Strats).

Only have brass but Titanium is said to be more musical , I have a chunk but haven't gotten around to trying to make it into a block.Heck they make them out of stone now I have no clue? The ones I have are Bell Brass no idea on the actual metal content.

I have a Floyd block that is quite effective.
I own no guitars with whammy bars.

Sorry I couldn't be of assistance.
