    KILLER GUITAR COMPONENTS
    The Killer Compensated Claw.
    This design is inspired by Carl Verheyen of Supertramp.  After seeing this video and doing some research ourselves, we decided to contact Carl directly and work on a design for a pre-compensated tremolo claw that helps to balance your string and spring tension as Carl describes in the video below.
    - Solid-milled from top quality KGC brass alloy
    - 1.35" (34.3mm) mounting space
    - 10 degree angled fingers for pre-compensated tension adjustment.  No need to back off claw screws at different lengths and no worry of stripping out the threads from the wood!
    - Increases Resonance, Warmth in tone, Sustain
    - Greatly Reduces the tuning problems that we have all dealt with on Vintage Strats and like trems for years.  By balancing the springs to the strings, you get equal tension pulling from each side of your bridge when using the whammy bar.
    - NOTICEABLE Return to pitch and tuning stability improvement
    THE Killer Brass Claw - the Original and only solid-milled Brass Tremolo Claw! There are now many Chinese and other manufacturers making cheap imitations of our parts. They do not compare in material, design or finish - they are just bad imitations at a cheap price. Don't fall for it - you get what you pay for! This the the ORIGINAL Killer Claw design from Killer Guitar Components - Made 100% in USA
    Don't fall for the scams out there trying to sell you brass claws that are made from sheet and just bent - they will not hold up - and they simply won't give you the tonal upgrade that the Killer Claw will. There are also now cheap milled Chinese brass claws that they didn't even bother to mill the claw fingers at an angle - one of the most difficult parts of machining this part! Your springs will slip right off - promise. Don't fall for it - get the Original Killer Claw!
    PACKAGE INCLUDES:
    (1) Killer Brass Compensated Claw
    (2) Brass Claw Mounting Screws 1-1/2" long
    (2) Stainless Steel Claw Mounting Screws 1-3/4" long
    (1) Heat shrink solder-free lug for easy ground wire attachment
    (1) Detailed Step-By-Step Installation Instructions
    Increase Resonance
    Enhance Tone
    Increases Sustain
    Improves Tuning Stability with heavy vibrato use
    EASY-EASY INSTALL,
    NO MODS REQUIRED
    INCLUDES ALL MOUNTING HARDWARE WITH TWO SETS OF MOUNTING SCREWS, BRASS AND STAINLESS
    The theory is that  in order to increase sustain and get the true tone of the wood in the body of your guitar you need the best "string-bridge-body" connection possible. This devise increases that connection and is precision machined from a solid billet of brass one at a time,
    NOT STAMPED OR MACHINED THEN BENT
    by the thousands overseas with inferior sheet stock as is offered by other manufacturers.  Bending brass  reduces its integrity.
    With our design, there is no worry when it comes to strength and integrity.  On top of being extra thick for ultimate stability, this claw is made from KGC's chosen alloy of what we have determined as
    "musical"
    brass, so it
    will increase sustain
    and
    enhance tone
    more than any other claw available!  Please try one today, it will do exactly as we say or money back --really!
    The Killer Claw includes a solder-free, heat shrink lug !
    No need for a soldering gun!
    Just put the wire into the connector, crimp and shrink the tubing with a lighter or heat gun.  Easy as can be!
    1 3/8" Mounting Hole Spacing - Fits any tremolo with just a few exceptions -   Directly replaces any standard aftermarket such as Gotoh®, Wilkinson®, Floyd Rose etc---will not fit "Mann Made" PRS tremolos.
    Includes (2) Brass Phillips oval head mounting Screws 1 1/2" long - these may be too short for some players' setup, so we are now including (2) 1 3/4" Stainless Screws as well.
    BE CAREFUL!!!  Those other guys are offering "Brass Claw Mounting Screws" - yes, they are brass and are the correct length - But they are the wrong type of screw!  You are almost guaranteed to have either issues with hangup on the claw or issues with the screw stripping out.  Claw screws should be OVAL head - not Flat Head!  It does matter.  Unfortunately, 1-3/4" Oval head brass screws in this size do not exist anywhere on earth - so, we offer 1-1/2" brass and 1-3/4" Stainless - both are great options but the 1-1/2" may be too short for some setups.  So, there ya go.  Be careful what you buy from those other "Tone" guys - they aren't doing their research.  They simply pay some shop to make knockoff parts in brass, titanium etc - you could do that!!!  Here at KGC we are our own custom shop. We make all KGC parts right here in our own shop in Gloucester, MA.
