String slammer

I realize this is an old post.......... I replaced my G Force Tuning System on my 60's Tribute Edition Gibson Les Paul, last night. I am currently at work, now and still letting the new strings and Grover tuners settle. From the few minutes, I played it before bed last night......Could not be happier! For what it's worth.....one concept that no one has addressed is as follows: The energy on a guitar transmits from the bridge all the way to the head stock/ tuners. The best tonal clarity comes from the tone of metal against wood with very little to no gaps. Typically, Increasing denser mass on a head stock or bridge can produce a more sustaining tone, via more wood, and/ or metal, i.e. CBS Fender head stock, heavier bridge, denser tremolo block, brass nut...Fathead, Fender "Fat Finger", etc. However.....the big flaw I discovered on the G Force Tuning System was that large PLASTIC portion. It creates a muddy, muffled stifling rag effect which clogs freely emanating vibrations from the head stock. I experienced muddy overtones from day 1 of owning the guitar. The whole guitar appears to have opened up with volume and much clarity, the second, I replaced the G Force tuning system with Grovers. Playing it unplugged, I could immediately feel and hear the difference in t one. If anyone has doubt, maybe swap your bridge, tuners, strings or tremolo blocks for something made of plastic or rubber. Actually, make the body of the guitar out of plastic, while your at it......
