No not at all man, years ago I was shocked how folks were not just having an opinion but getting personal.. So I dipped out said screw all that crap, was in there excited to divulge what I could to answer any questions which was the complete opposite. Since then I've aquired all the machines everything to be in full time factory mode. Also FR has moved thier headquarters to Ft. Myers, couldn't be better to have them on my back door. Anything you need if I can help let me know.?

This is a custom made block 3/4" thick that fit with no routing necessary, not the case for many other guitar cavities but this blocks attack sustain just everything is off the charts so if you ever need a specific size or special specification, hit me up.

I’m not arguing, they do work. But your stone ones specifically seem straight snake oil. You’ve yet to post your own factual sound recording data and instead rely on 1980s style advertising dropping word about it everywhere it doesn’t need to be. I give you credit, at least you’re consistent.

No hate here. Just back up your product and let the people decide instead of forcing it down throats please?

The 80's were great ! Last thing I wanted was to have folks feel as if i was forcing anything on them, I was just excited to get it out since it works so signifigantly and those who were already using it. My apologies, That was yesterdays newspaper, Todays a new Day. ?
 
I have a 37mm block from FU-tone on my superstrat. Definitely gave more clarity, sustain and made it more chunky sounding. I wanted my superstrat to sound more like a les paul and it certainly did that and more. Actually i prefer it now to the LPs that i've compared it to.

Thinking about building a another superstrat but this time with a 42mm brass block and a rear routed body to get even chunkier sound.

I'm curious as to what your interpretation of snake oil is and what do you base your claims on that constitutes my product(s) being snake oil?

I know one thing's for certain, all the necro-bumping and product-whoring you're doing is beginning to be annoying as fuck.

How's it not? YOU PERSONALLY necro-bumped 2 threads that were older than dirt, in addition to one you started.

That thread was old and now updated from the hate, and that'll be that. I'll be in the manufactures section soon to help those who need to know what bridge works with what block preferbally Floyd Rose or any other bridge. updates availability and so much more...So unless you participate there you wont see any other posts in the future.

Enjoy the crickets.
 
Just watched some guy review the Stone Tone Block and I didn't notice any improvement so yeah, I'd call snake oil on that.
 
I've never tried a brass block, but I've swapped my Floyd in my ESP Horizon for a Titanium Floyd and it has really made the tone brighter and clearer. I've heard that brass makes the bass a bit looser, which would go in the opposite direction than what I want, but could be useful to some.

That said, I probably wouldn't buy a titanium bridge again given the cost, but I'm happy to have it in a guitar already.

My favorite combo of all the floyds is the TI and my block because the bottom end gets tight and the brightness goes really well together where the chime in the treble is nice not harsh and brittle while the mids cut like a chainsaw.

I put a brass block in my PRS SE Cu24 and I liked it. It sounds bright and the sustain has increased a little bit.
