Brass claws? Anybody used them?

[veji]

How r they? Do they enhance tone like brass blocks?

 

[Mailman1971]

I would think they would be too soft for the claw right?
Lot of tension going on and brass is a soft metal.
But who knows.....maybe they rule.

From past experience, they seemed like a much smaller piece of the puzzle, when compared to the benefits gained from brass blocks. My 2 cents....

no no the key is the screws that hold the claw ..... they need to be made from unicorn horns

I have a brass claw on my edge1 trem. Unfortunately I couldn't tell you if it makes a diff or not cause i Installed a brass block, trem stabilzer and noisless high tension springs at the same time. But i can say the whole setup was well worth the price. Was considering blocking my trem till the upgrade, not any more

I felt that the brass claw gave me a slight bit more note separation and clarity

I just installed one from KGC. I got it as part of another deal, because I wouldn't have paid for one. But it's a nice looking piece and it takes all of 5-10 minutes to swap a claw, so I put it on since I have it.

Surprisingly, the guitar's louder acoustically. Plugged in, I would have needed A/B clips; not sure I really hear it.
