Description

This L-shaped blocker forces a Floyd Rose-style tremolo into a fixed "hardtail" state without permanent modifications.

What it's for

Instead of a simple wedge that can vibrate loose, this block drops into the gap between your sustain block and the cavity wall from the back of the guitar. The oversized flange catches on the wood surface, keeping it suspended right in the sweet spot so it won't ever slip down or fall out while playing. It's printed flat to align the print layers against the string tension, preventing delamination over time.

Dimensions

  • Width: 38mm (matches standard Floyd blocks)
  • Gap thickness: 12mm
  • Insertion depth: 28mm
  • Flange hook: 8mm overhang

Remix ideas

  • Modify the gap_thickness to perfectly match your specific route and preferred bridge angle.
  • Widen the block_width if your cavity allows for a wider brace.
  • Adjust the drop_depth if you have a shallower tremolo cavity.
