I’ve wondered this. I’ve got an EVH WG…killer player but super thin. I’m mean really thin sounding. Could be the dude playing it too but…wonder if the fat brass L block will give a little less (bright)/thin.IME heavier blocks change the tone (it gets darker) but not sustain.
That's what's keeping me from upgrading the stock block with my OFR on my Warmoth build. It's a mahogany body with a maple top. I don't want any darker tone.IME heavier blocks change the tone (it gets darker) but not sustain.
I've tried a lot of blocks, including various sizes of brass and tungsten. To me, the heavier the block, the more treble it lops off.I’ve wondered this.

Supposedly the titanium blocks will add some zing. I've never tried one of those of spoke with Tom Anderson about them long time ago.That's what's keeping me from upgrading the stock block with my OFR on my Warmoth build. It's a mahogany body with a maple top. I don't want any darker tone.

I'd be interested in trying these on my Wolfgang. Where do you get them?I recently changed my WG Standards from the stock 2 springs to 4 Raw Vintage springs. I think these helped give them a bit more body and sustain. I looked at the brass blocks, but thought I would try the low tension springs first since you can double the amount of springs and have the same tension. My thinking was that more bridge-body contact points would increase the resonance and vibration transfer.
I got them on Amazon. I think they are like $29 for a 5 pack now.I'd be interested in trying these on my Wolfgang. Where do you get them?

I was researching the brass blocks last week because I have an old MIJ Charvel that could be thicker sounding. Then I remembered I had a set of the Raw Vintage springs in a drawer I bought like 7-8 years ago. Threw them in there, replacing 3 springs with 5. They definitely made the Charvel sound fuller and more resonant. Not a HUGE difference, but noticeable enough that I bought more sets and put them in my Wolfgang Standards. I am pretty happy with them now. I thought about the brass blocks, but I dont want too much low end mush, and I dont want to restrict the movement of my Floyds.It sounds insane but the Raw Vintage springs legit made my guitars more resonant/warm/thicker sounding. Springs! I never would have believed it if I hadn't heard it.
I used the "FU Tone" upgrade big brass block on a Schaller Floyd Rose.I’ve put big brass blocks in a couple guitars. I perceived the change as more mids, not as darker. It’s not a huge difference but it’s there. These are significantly larger and don’t restrict the Floyd’s movement. Take measurements so you know the max. length until movement is diminished. Got mine from FU Tone.
Yes, Titanium will add more highs, clarity, output(seems louder by a touch).....I've tried a lot of blocks, including various sizes of brass and tungsten. To me, the heavier the block, the more treble it lops off.
