People are raving about these over-sized sustain blocks. Solid brass, twice as thick as a regular Floyd block. Haven't tried them yet, but after hearing the difference between a licensed Floyd with a zinc block and a Gotoh with a brass block, I'm a believer!
The titanium blocks are a bit outrageous at $250, but the solid brass are $32 - $40, and alledgedly improve a guitar's tone and sustain drastically.

I know a guy on jecfoline (charvel/jackson) forum did it and was very impressed.
Howeer I heard that it can limit the range of floyd bombing or pull uping? Precisely because the block is so big it hits the cavity. But even so at $30 or what a good idea! If you make the purchase let us know the sound or tone improvement if any?

If that Stagemaster I bought turns out to be a good guitar, I was thinking of getting one of the new discount Gotohs and slapping one of these on. If so, maybe I can do some A/B Clips and let everybody judge whether there's a difference.

Anyone know if the screw holes match the Kramer Striker's floyd?

That'd be a long shot, you could check with the maker. They've started making some that Ibanez and Gotoh now, so who knows? Yours would be a Floyd Rose II style, I think.

That site has some neat stuff. They have a floyd trem bar with a alan wrench on it genius but pricey at $40. But god $400 for titanium floyd saddles Jesus. Who buys this stuff
