interesting... How did you cut the brass? or did you luck across a piece the right size?

I just stumbled on this post. Yeah..I was surprised the difference it made too. The one I have came stock in my HP Special. It can be adjusted with two allen screws accessable through an opening cut in the cover plate in the back. In just a instant I have have it floating or set just to dive-bomb.
The Wolfgang rest on the wood to get better sustain...but I like the brass block better. It really livens things up.

I love Wayne's guitars. They really are excellent playing guitars.

Awesome! Thanks for the report. I've seen these, but haven't bought any yet. Did it change the tone at all, or just add sustain?
Thanks,
Brad
