These blocks and trems look pretty nice. Somebody put their engineering cap on when they build these...........
I would have some concerns about those two piston contact points continually making pressure contact on the wood of the routed surface making indentations in the wood surface over time. Maybe they are soft enough I dunno, if it strong enough to push back on the trem while under trem calw spring tension then they are strong enough to indent the wood over time with repeated contacts.
Just my observation..............
I was thinking the same thing..
I have contacted the builder and asked this (and other questions).. awaiting a response thru e-mail.
My guess would be the body wood of the guitar will be a big factor.. Mahogany & Poplar prolly won't indent much.

Another option that may be of interest are the trems/bridges made by Hantug Custom Guitars & Parts.
How do they resolve the "zero-trem" issue with a floating tremolo system ?
Looks like a direct clone of a Floyd Rose.
Beats me. I just came across them recently and saw that people were digging them for various replacement parts. They seem to be built well and such. I thought I would share the company as most people (including myself) hadn't heard of them before.

After watching the above looked into these and their Floyd version and gotta say I'm interested in checking these out more. Anyone have any firsthand experience with these or know anyone who has?

different pre-tensions... One for 6 strings 10-46 A=440, one for the Drop Tuner and Seven string and one for Seven string with Drop Tuner -- each stabilizer is adjustable for firmer pre-tension ... it also matters how many tremolo springs you use -- prolly can be dialed in:)

The Global Tuner Pro is an upgrade for the spring block on your Floyd.
It really depends on your setup .. we well three gages for

we sell three gages for pre-tension -- one for the siix, one for the six + Drop Tuner or Seven and a even heavier one fo the Seven + the Drop Tuner

Further, each dual stabilizer is adjustable and ca further increase the pre-tension of the contact pins ...the number of tremolo springs can be part of the setup too:)
