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!New Exclusive FloydUpgrades High Performance Bridges!

**NEW** BRASS TREMOLO STOPPERS!
The tremolo stopper is not just an efficient way to block your bridge
from floating. It plays a huge part in the overall tone of your guitar.
As the string vibrates through saddles, base plate and block – you now
have a direct contact point to the block that goes straight to the body
adding additional resonance. It is just another link in your “chain of
tone”. The brass Tremolo Stopper adds another level of warmth and
sustain in addition to stabilizing your bridge. Click for more info!

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 ITEM! FloydUpgrades.com is now carrying TITANIUM STRING LOCK BLOCKS! These
new titanium insert blocks are made from the highest grade titanium
available. There is another brand of titanium insert blocks out there
that are made from a very low grade of titanium with a psi rating of
40,000 lbs. FloydUpgrades titanium blocks are rated at 140,000 lbs! Are
you tired of your little black insert blocks cracking or expanding and
getting stuck in the saddles? For the ultimate in performance and tonal
response, this is a very easy upgrade to install.

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.

**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! For increased sustain, warmth, singing
highs, clear mids and nice round lows this block upgrade is for you!

"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."
