Looking for some trem springs and found fu-tone. There's some seriously spendy parts made w/ brass and titanium.

Anyone w/ experience?

Looks top notch but well outside my price point

Ti saddles - $795

those are sexy as hell, but I have doubts about any real practical benefits
 
$795??

Damn...too much for just a bridge. Regarding Floyd's, I have had no issues with them for all the years I have owned and played one. Personally, I don't see how titanium will improve the system. Could be because acoustically, I already like the sound of the instrument unplugged.

We should do a build on paper using all of the most ridiculous and overpriced TGP parts and see how much it would cost.

I think it’s $795 just for the saddles.

I kind of thought that but was giving the benefit of the doubt.

Are people that foolish to....

Wait, let me not ask that question because I already know the answer.
 
Never herd of them. Didn't understand FU was part of their name. Thought you were saying fuck you to the price. :grin:
 
They used to be floydupgrades.com and relaunched as fu-tone.com

IDK, double entendre or obscene(ish) business names don't particularly inspire me to like a company/product
 
A lot of the expensive stuff they carry isn't worth it over the less expensive stuff.

FWIW, I got one of the Pickup Mounting Systems and it's actually a pretty nifty piece of kit. If it were $30-35 instead of $50 I'd probably have more of them.
 
There was a review of the FU Tone stuff in Premiere Guitar's online version and while the review is interesting what's really interesting is the comments below:

Check it out, they talk about the guy who started the company didn't even know how to set up a Floyd bridge when he started that company. However, I have no doubt it's quality stuff.

Another company producing TI trem parts and replacements is Hantug:
