FU-Tone brass blocks

  • As of last weekend, my main 3 guitars have the FU-Tone 42mm L brass block in the Floyd Rose Tremolos. If you haven't heard about them, check them out at FU-Tone.com


    When I used to see the advertisements for the large blocks, I never thought that it really worked. I ran into Adam from FU-Tone at a Music Zoo event. He talked me into trying one. At $50, it was a real cheap upgrade compared to some others over the years. I was 100% sure that I would be able to do it easily, and Adam went out of his way to make sure that I was comfortable. In fact, he said that if I had the guitar with me, he would put it in for free. I never even thought of bring a guitar with me.


    So, I got home, and the new block was in a half hour later. As long as you know how to do your own Floyd setups, and intonations, the installation is a breeze. There is also a tutorial video that you can follow.


    It made a huge difference, and the Kramer Baretta that I put it in became my main guitar rather quickly. I recently met up with Adam at another show, and he put the blocks in my other 2 guitars. Now I'm back to playing 3 guitars, not just one.


    If you haven't checked them out, look them up. Really a fantastic product.


    I just realized I sound like a salesman, which I'm not. Just a VERY satisfied customer.

  • I’ve installed brass blocks on a few of the Kramer’s I own. Wasn’t the FU-TONE branded blocks but were ones made from bell brass. I do think it helped some but to me it wasn’t a dramatic difference. I did notice increased sustain and warmth It’s a good upgrade to a FR other than the added weight. One of the other things to me that has helped my guitars with a Floyd Rose is proper intonation. They can be hard to get correct.
