Sinclair Trem - Brass Block?
Sinclair Trem - Brass Block?
Has anyone ever tried to add a bigger block (brass) to an ESP licensed sinclair trem?
Any ideas for locating one that will fit and the holes line up ?
Yeah, I am starting to realize that. :lol
It sort of looks like one of the "L" shaped Floyd Upgrades blocks, but flipped over and mounted on the most surface space. I might pull one of those off of one of my Charvels, and just see if it looks like it would work. If it does, I might try to get a blank one from Adam, mark where everything needs to be, and have a local machine shop drill / tap the holes.
That would be cool. Have them tap it for the built in trem-stop too... The steel used in the Synclairs was quality and dense, who knows how much of a difference it will make with the brass one in there. Make sure you will have enough clearance in the routing to allow for diving/pulling up with the thicker block.
Those blocks are way different than any standard Floyd block... you would probably have to have one custom made.
