Wasn't to difficult to install, looks great. Really stable, stays in tune really well after aggressive whammy use. I highly recommend, for a non locking trem system this one is worth the money

I have a Warmoth korina bodied Strat that I’ve not been really satisfied with soundwise,it had no real fullness or depth to the tone,so I ordered this bridge from zZounds last nite and it arrived today(!!) the speed of delivery by zZounds is the next best thing to teleportation! Anyways,the install was super easy. Setup takes some getting used to,especially if you are old school like me and eyeball the string height. Intonation was right on the money. One of the good things I noticed was the lack of adjustment screws digging into my hand when I rested on the bridge. Soundwise,I noticed more sustain right away and a little deeper tone,but I think that will improve with time and playing it more. I don’t use my trem,I just like the sound of the hint of reverb from the springs,something which is really noticeable on a stock six screw tremolo but I haven’t been able to crank up the amp for a proper listen,not until this weekend.so,sounds better,looks cool,solid as a rock.

I originally bought this for a custom strat project but was forced to use something else because the guy who made my body drilled it for a vintage spaced tremolo, so the mounting holes were too wide for the narrow 6 screws of this bridge, and it was a really nice thinline strat body with a flame maple cap that looked too nice to drill and plug the holes and Redrill (although i realized later that when the trem was mounted, nobody would see the screw holes). So it sat until I picked up a cheap LTD strat copy, it was one of the fake relic strats that went for around 5-600 new in the early mid 2010's. I had just wanted a traditional style strat or knockoff to screw around with and see if I liked it enough to buy a real American one later. Well the cheap pot metal blocked trem was decked on it and it had standard tuners with a billion wraps of string on them. But the pickups were actually the real deal Alnico 5 jobs that had a killer sound. Well one day I got bored and sick of not having any trem action and had heard that the 6 screw trems had the best tone for a floating trem if you could keep them in tune, so I said screw it and stuck the babicz on a guitar that I bought for the price of the trem and the budget locking tuners, and while I was at it I said screw it again and put my mojotone 58 quiet coil HSS prewired pickguard (I had bought that for the previously mentioned thinline project but it was only halfway done with the finish and I really wanted to see how both performed and couldn't wait lol) on too, and it was a black guitar and everything I put on it was black, so that was pretty cool. Well onto the good stuff,, I got it all installed and stared on the setup setup. I was totally amazed that everything was super easy to setup (other than I had a nicer claw and claw screws kicking around, so I used it instead). I set it up about 1/8" off the body and floating paralell to it, and that was the only tricky part, getting all 6 trem screws even because they had a machined groove just under the head of the screw on the shaft that the knife edges on each 6 of the mounting holes in the top plate had to sit in, and if they were not all the exact same height, your trem would be slightly misaligned but more importantly it would defeat the purpose of having the knife edges and grooves because the knife edge wouldn't sit in each one the same and in theory you would loose tuning stability and smoothness and the pull on the screws would be uneven and possibly bend them or wallow out the holes in the wood. But a straight edge was all it took to set them level at the same height off the body, and I set the height so that I can pull up and get a full semitone on the G string right when it bottomed out. Oh and it got strung with 10s. The trem was buttery smooth and I could get super aggressive with the bar and it would stay in tune and still be in tune the next day when I picked it up to play, oh and it did that flutter and trem bounce sounds really really nice as long as the bar was tight enough (you couldn't let it swing free or it would be too loose and wouldn't be as precise and a little noisy. With the trem being setup and ridiculously smooth and stabile, I went to intonation and fine tune the action on the strings and the way those cams in the saddles adjust was super easy with the little Allen wrench it comes with and took no time at all. In fact once it was installed and rough set, it only took 10 min to fine tune it to my specs 1.75mm onlow E and 1.25 on high E and get it to where it was perfect. The sustain and sound. I know I changed pickups at the same time, so I will stick mostly with what happened that couldn't be influenced by the pickups,, So tbe unplugged volume nearly doubled in volume,, and each note resonated through the whole body and neck, and it did not do that nearly as well with the stock decked trem. And the unplugged notes actually rang out for what seemed like forever. The notes were snappy and quick and you could feel each note vibrate differently through the wood, and it was not even close to that before, in fact I had decided to sell the guitar before I super upgraded I it and just based off of unplugged sound and response I had changed my mind. And all that was before I plugged it in. It also sounded incredible plugged in, you can hear every note and nuances very clean and clear sound but also super full but clear and defined low end that you could feel in your chest at the same time, and with the paf bridge humbucker in full and split mode in position 2. The PAF that was in the bridge actually sounded to my ears similar to what a PAF sounds like, and responded and chugged like a les paul with a classic 57 in the bridge, and I have to give some of that credit to the tremolo for being responsible for the sustain and resonance and feel of the guitarAnd as a bonus, it has that wonderful smooth flutter for the cleans, and it dive bombs like a champion on the rare occasion I dive bomb. So all in all, I love it and it feels good to rest your hand on and palm mute, which it does excellent by the way, and it chugga lug a lugs with ease too for the harder music. Get one, you will not be disappointed, worth the money for sure
