Callaham tremolo brightness

[mjlee]

I've read numerous accounts of the Callaham tremolos being very bright. I'm wondering if anyone has tried their tremolos with the brass block, available at specialtyguitars.com? ( https://www.specialtyguitars.com/p/03-05254.html ) If so, what are your thoughts? Less bright? This would be on a Strat.

I have not tried that one. I do have a couple of Callaham bridges including a trem. I am not sure I would say bright but for me more of a clarity. I suppose it depends on how people hear things and preferences.

I have a couple Callaham strat trems. They are no brighter than any other. They do seem to have more clarity which I would describe as note definition

I would only consider them "bright" when compared to budget trems with cheap soft metals. I don't think I could pick out my Callaham from my Fender Vintage Series trem with my eyes closed, I think the only material difference between the two is the SS saddle son the Callaham.
