I had chance to use several titanium parts including saddles for vintage tremolo and string lock inserts for Floyd.
These parts have been made by Japanese company, KTS and so far as I know, allparts is a dealer of these titanium parts in U.S. I live in South Korea and had chance to buy them at a lower price.
IMO, I didn't feel any significant differences in case of titanium saddles. They might add some brightness, but i didn't think that changes were not so dramatic as they advertized.
By the way, String lock inserts for floyd rose tremolo gave me pretty positive results. After I changed original blocks to titanium blocks, a bit more brightness and clarity were noted without sacrificing lower end and mid-range. I also felt increase in sustain and I thought these changes were definitely positive for my guitars ( I experimented 5 guitars (including 3 TAGs) and all of them showed similar results. All of them were equiped with OFR). I think this parts will be more effective than other things like Fat Finger from Groove tube (Frankly speaking, I didn't feel any significant changes after using Fat finger.) .
Is there anybody who have experienced titanium parts?
