Wow 225- for a trem block! I do like the idea that it is so light weight but
$225-! Every other claim DeTemple makes about his titanium trem blocks are
either subjective or completely meaningless (see below). "Chording intervals
more defined"..."Increased touch sensitivity", oh brother! My harmonic overtones
are not apparent enough, I'd better get that 225- trem block. Of course Callaham
is no better with claims made about his trem block.

a.. Trims over a quarter pound* off your guitar's weight.
a.. Makes your guitar's harmonic overtones more apparent.
a.. When chording, the intervals are more defined.
a.. Increased touch sensitivity.
a.. Can make strings feel one gauge lighter (e.g. 11s feel like 10s -- 10s feel
like 9s. Heavier strings mean stronger signal from your pickups)

Harry,
I haven't used them, but I've heard raves about Michael De Temple's
titanium trem blocks. It costs $225.00, and weighs about 45% less
than a standard trem block. Take a look at www.detempleguitars.com
for info. He's in Van Nuys (Southern California). I think he used
to work for Fender. Guys like Carl Verheyen and Dean Parks (L.A.
studio pros) rave about his guitars.
