Callaham steel block install question.

[Tone2TheBone]

I didn't receive any instructions to do that, but then again none of the 6 steel blocks I've installed have the new enhanced "pop-in" model you got. Perhaps this may be a new requirement of the enhanced model.

I can't see how you could damage it by not having it installed while assembling it to your bridge. After all, it is just a steel block with some holes drilled in it.

I'll gladly trade you for the older style model which doesn’t have this requirement if you wish!

P.S. Would you please take a picture of the old and new block side by side so the rest of the members can see just how awesome these blocks are in comparison to the crappy MIM?

I just PM'd you. I mentioned that I did take pictures of the whole process of installation to post here but that I left the camera at home. I'll post them later. I didn't put the arm in as the instructions mentioned cause I didn't see any advantage to do it. The plate doesn't move at all from the hole locations once you start the screws. The whole process took me only 20 minutes with me taking pics as I went.

Awesome T2TB! Thanks for taking the time to take some pictures. I had planned on doing this the next time I do an upgrade, but you've beat me to the punch.

Since you did this part, I'll take on the task of doing some before & after soundclips. I'm going to install one in my SX SST62 in a couple of weeks along with a new set of pickups I got in a trade.
