Thanks again for considering this! Floyd Block

 

Hello Canada, we are a group of High School Students currently in the capstone course of our Engineering Classes. The course requires us to solve a problem and gather data that demonstrates the problem exists. Specifically, we are trying to design a new type of trem blocker and would appreciate any responses from Floyd Rose guitar players. The form should only take a few minutes and it would be a massive help to our success. Thank you!

Will this be a practical project or a proposal? I did not click Floyd Block because it could be booby trapped.

Too late for this dummy! I reported it.

 

The same thread was posted over on TGP.

Seems harmless enough.

I responded there.

It seems like the underlying assumptions involve using a tremel-no type of device, which for me is a non-starter, for similar reasons as blocking a vintage style trem.

 

The link is fine, it is a google form, and not recording emails. Of course, YMMV.

I merged the duplicate threads. Nice of them to translate to French.

TV: you might want to put in some info about your school. I found it on your google form.

 

IMO...... It's appears to me that you're re-inventing the wheel. The solution is a: "Floyd Rose Trem-Endus Tremolo Stabilizer." I put one on my Partscaster Strat (works tick-a-dee-boo) & on my Jackson with a Floyd, it stands as I bought it off the rack with no issues, no stabilizer etc. Check out the attached picture:

 

Hey there!

That's great to hear about your capstone project in Engineering! Designing a new type of trem blocker for Floyd Rose guitars sounds like an exciting challenge. I can help gather responses from Floyd Rose guitar players. If you have the form ready, feel free to share it, and I'll assist in getting responses from the players. Good luck with your project!
