KGC-V

American Vintage Synchronized Strat® Brass Tremolo Block

KGC's Flagship product! Sandy designed this block from an original '57 RI Strat from a hunk of metal he had sitting in his garage - all done on a MANUAL milling machine at the time. The design hasn't changed much - only nuances that help with tone and sustain. Get the original, Get a KILLER!

Fits bridges with 2 7/32" E to E string pacing and 6 screw pivot

Specially designed to increase sustain, enhance tone and increase stability.

  • Built to mount the same as your original block
  • Enhances the original chime and sparkle
  • No modifications necessary
  • Easy install (detailed instructions included)
  • Incorporated the KGC proprietary Flop-Stop design for whammy bar stability and safety.  You arm will stay in place wherever you leave it while being easily nudged out of your way.  Will never strip due to nylon thread design allowing the arm to work into the hole like a ny-lock nut would work on a machine screw.  See below...

What is the "Flop Stop" and how does it work?

The "Flop Stop" is KGC's proprietary, intuitive design that keeps the trem bar from flopping around and also keeps it from stripping out the hole. Each block that requires a trem bar hole gets a "Flop Stop". A piece of nylon is pressed into the block approximately half way down on the trem hole. It is then tapped for the trem bar and ground down to be flush with the sides of the block. Now, when you screw in your arm, it will stay in place no matter what position you like it to be in - and it will never strip out!

See last picture above for a cross-section of a block with a "Flop Stop"
