BluEsMannus Guitar Art's video: Squier Strat Steel Tremolo Block Upgrade and Sustain Test

Here at the BluEsMannus Custom Shop we've fabricated steel tremolo blocks that fit Squier Stratocaster guitars with metric spacing. As you may already know Squier casts pot metal tremolo blocks in their guitars to keep the cost down, and many claim that it shortens the sustain of a guitar. We're going to test this out by replacing them with steel blocks and measuring the duration of played notes before and after. Our new blocks are machined from steel on a CNC machine and are much heavier than the stock pot metal blocks. 0:00 Intro 0:20 About my Hendrix Tribute guitar 1:15 Machining steel tremolo blocks on a CNC 2:03 Strings change 3:24 Replacing tremolo block 4:35 Results analysis 8:10 Conclusion 9:06 Sound demo Link to Hendrix Tribute Stratocaster Guitar: http://www.bluesmannus.com/Hendrix-Tribute-Stratocaster/ ♫ Support this channel on Patreon and get full access to download all tabs and backing tracks: ♪ http://www.patreon.com/bluesmannus ♫ Tabs, lessons, backing tracks, reviews, guitar setup, mods, custom shop and much more on: ♪ http://www.bluesmannus.com ♫ Bluesmannus Social Network: ♪ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/bluesmannus/ ♪ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/bluesmannus ♪ Twitter: http://twitter.com/BluesMannus ♪ Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/BluesMannus ♪ Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/bluesmannus ♫ Building a Jimi Hendrix Monterey Strat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYWrBEj249c&list=PLpqzvmdgtsqnqmJNr7fJhlOzdkkqKGEEL ♫ Affordable Guitar Demos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOU0MenS8W8&list=PLpqzvmdgtsqlSwoq3pYfiZxSYJoleKUHn ♫ Bluesmannus Custom shop videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VonJrIBfxOU&list=PLpqzvmdgtsqmkQ-HvmUNfhV-vvjEG-gXC ♫ Bluesmannus Backing tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJEh4-KVpes&list=PLpqzvmdgtsqnuy7k7WPgJ-npD5vs35hBO ♫ Live performances: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3dqN7bfql4&list=PLpqzvmdgtsqnMjCTGiNpcQyjQ5YW-kwCm Don't forget to like and subscribe for more videos like this, and if you also click on the bell icon, you'll be notified of any new uploads.
