This is a hand crafted boutique MADE IN USA sustain block size 42mm made from exotic steel that is EXACTLY LIKE THE FAMOUS 5150 PROTOTYPE BIG BLOCK. It also has the identical size, weight, shape and girth as the original prototype sustain block.
When mounted it fits on your modern Floyd Rose tremolo and covers the needed area of the bridge baseplate just like the early 5150 Prototype Block. This is required to create the tone desired.
AXN™ Guitars is very familiar with exotic metals including tool steel, powder metallurgical steels, stainless steels, and specialty alloys.

Its also virtually the same alloy as the sustain block used on the VH recordings.
