Im not using a edge bridge but it works the same with the other trem units. Not quite sure what kind of review you're expecting of this product but i can tell you it works great compared to the other blocking system out there in the market, best part you dont have to solder anything with tremol no

heres the deal.
it allows you to attain the feel and sound of a fixed bridge unit whereby you can do double stop bends and it wont go out of tune. it allows you go to back into full floating mode by loosening the screws.
however, if you wanna do alternative tunings on it. i think a drop d will be pretty much pushing the limit. likewise, when you are in fixed bridge mode and you detune all your strings, the bridge will still be pulled back down by the sheer power of the springs without the strings counter balancing its force.
hence my suggestion is that if you want to have a guitar that can switch between floating and fixed, get the tremolo-no. if your floating bridge is so damaged or unstable that you would be playing it fixed all the time, blocking the trem via wood is probably a cheaper and better option as you will be able to switch tunings fast, restring fast etc like on a legit fixed bridge unit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkj8p4Z3Rjg rob chappers method of blocking is quite good and it is what i use
