Greetings and welcome to floydupgrades.com! My name is Adam Reiver and I have been working on the tremolos of the stars for almost 20 years. Some of you may know me from my other company, D-Tuner (EVH D-Tuna) or my work with Floyd Rose. My work with some of the greatest guitar players ever has taught me many lessons on what works in the world of guitar tone - especially when it comes to the original Floyd Rose Tremolo. My clients demand the best in tone and action from their Floyd Rose tremolos and my upgrades allow them to achieve that! I have decided to share some of the "secrets of the stars" and offer you the opportunity to purchase some of the most innovative, new and exciting products available for the Floyd Rose Tremolo. Read on!

Tone is selective - period! To the true tone aficionado, tone is almost sacred. Not everybody understands this point but for those of us who do you will know what I am talking about. When a great guitar tone makes the hair on your arm stand up, send a tingle down your spine or (better yet) inspire you to play something that you otherwise wouldn’t have - that puts you in the club of "getting it"! Odds are, if you are reading this, you are just like me - a tone chaser - a guitar geek who will try anything to get a new sound.
**NEW** BIG BLOCKS for IBANEZ! You asked for it, you got it! After many requests and some spec help from my end users (thanks Seth!), FloydUpgrades is proud to release our brass BIG BLOCK for the Ibanez Edge tremolo. Made from the same high end bell brass as our Floyd replacement blocks, this block will make your Ibanez bridge come to life!

Titanium is not entirely new to the world of guitar players but it has never been common in the world of Floyd Rose users. Titanium is a broad term. There are many grades of titanium and even more grades of titanium alloys. The titanium guitar parts that I have seen in the past were usually made of the cheapest grade of titanium just to say that they were "titanium". The titanium parts that you will find on this site are made from the highest grade titanium alloy available. This has two major benefits - One, the durability and strength of these products make them INDESTRUCTIBLE! Two, the tonal characteristics are out of this world! Imagine tone as a color - this is an entirely new color spectrum that you have never had the chance to paint with yet (try describing color to a blind man).
**NEW** FloydUpgrades.com is now carrying TREMOLO STOPPERS! The tremolo stopper installs easily into
the spring cavity of your guitar and can easily be engaged to block your bridge from floating (it will still allow you to go down on the bridge). This is a great item for stabilizing your
bridge permanently or temporarily - making string changes and intonation easier by providing a stable work platform.

"This thing has sustain for days! The titanium big block and titanium saddles are the key for Michael Wilton's sound. There is never a tuning or stability problem. it just makes everything a lot better. In a word...BEEFY. If you have a Floyd, you must upgrade! You will not be disappointed."
