Titanium Floyd Rose saddles for the Original Floyd Rose are available from Musician's Friend!!! Only $299.99 a set. Compared to floydupgrades.com@ $795, it's a killer deal. Titanium is a great conductor of energy, very durable and virtually chemically inert (no corrosion ever). It is the best possible upgrade to your Floyd equipped guitar. It beats the hell out of the cheap cast zinc, pot metal saddles that come stock. Even the best Floyds suffer from cheap quality metal for the saddles. The German Floyds already have a really nice C45 hardened steel baseplate, so why not up the ante and get some of these little suckers. I know I am. I've tried titanium parts and they rock. I've heard people say that they introduce too much treble, but that is crap. They introduce a lot more across the frequency spectrum. It's like going from black and white television to HD. It's like playing a guitar with a plywood body and then switching over to a solid wood body and saying that the solid wood introduces too much treble. Sure there's more treble, but there is so much more going on. It's just a whole other dimension of quality. So adjust those amp control knobs and you'll get it in no time. I currently use a titanium sustain block and it was a HUGE difference from the stock cast zinc POS that it came with. Big sustain and tight bass were the first thing I noticed. I can't wait to try the saddles and the titanium mounting studs. That should take care of all the shitty stock parts left on my Original Floyd....
