Greetings to all of you guitar gurus! I once again come to you in need of enlightenment.

I purchased a 2009 Highway One and I need a definitive answer as to the composition of the tremolo block. The surface texture is rather rough and is a dull gray. The block is stamped "PW-36". I could be wrong but it looks like zinc. Can someone confirm for us whether the block is zinc or steel?

I thank you in advance!

Can't answer your question but here is the pic of my block on my new MiM Standard;



Says "PW 29".

it is zinc. I changed mine to a guitar fetish steel block. while it did make the guitar louder and more resonant it totally lost its warmth and made it very hard to play. I changed it back

Hello Manabu108,

A magnet will settle your mind easily

Cheers.

Mr. Bill,

Dude! You rock! Thanks. The magnet test revealed my block as being made of steel. Thanks
