Studies have shown that Mass = Sustain. The all new Fat Brass \"L\" shaped sustain blocks by Floyd Rose have been specifically designed to take advantage of the unused area under the tremolo arm. By incorporating an additional \"L\" shape of brass to the design of a stock sustain block, Floyd Rose has been able to utilize this previously unused space for additional mass which equates to more sustain and additional tonal qualities of brass. Brass has been a much desired material for guitar luthiers dating back to the invention of the instrument; it is notorious for increasing warmth and clarity simultaneously, a rare combination. While greatly strengthening chord clarity and beefing up individual notes, it also greatly improves resonance, especially in the midrange of the instrument. All of these improvements are accompanied with the undeniably vintage sound and feel of this time-tested material. Since this block is larger than a conventional sustain block, it can also limit upward travel of the tremolo and can be set to rest against the body in a blocked bridge configuration.

This exclusive tungsten sustain blocks for Floyd Rose tremolo bridges offers the highest density available in a tremolo block that conforms to the original size specifications of your Floyd Rose bridge. When it comes to sustain, the single most important property of a metal is density followed by hardness. Tungsten is denser than titanium and more than twice as dense as brass. To equal the mass of this tungsten sustain block, you would need a titanium block 4 times the size and a brass block double the dimensions of our tungsten block. Why are density and mass important to sound and sustain? A fixed guitar bridge efficiently transmits string vibration from the bridge to the body through a large contact area but tremolo bridges are limited by a few very small attachment points. A great deal of resonance is lost to the bridge through the tremolo springs because the springs absorb and dissipate vibration very well. This is one of the reasons expensive studio microphones are suspended by springs to isolate external vibrations. A high density sustain block means greater mass which means less string vibration transmitted to the springs and more in the bridge where it belongs. Soft metals absorb sound and cancel sustain. No other sustain block offers the perfect combination of mass and hardness. With this tungsten sustain block, every note will be brighter with a noticeable increase in clarity and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Floyd Rose","offers":[{"title":"32mm","offer_id":47214123811098,"sku":"FROTUB32","price":147.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"37mm","offer_id":47214123843866,"sku":"FROTUB37","price":163.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"42mm","offer_id":47214123876634,"sku":"FROTUB42","price":180.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/1846\/6842\/products\/1441814066-48199300.jpg?v=1699434143"},{"product_id":"aluminium-sustain-block-for-kluson-narrow-spaced-tremolo","title":"Aluminium Sustain Block for Kluson Narrow Spaced Tremolo","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.6;\"\u003eKluson's narrow-spaced tremolo block is designed to fit the Kluson® narrow-spaced tremolo system part # KNTS.
