Pro Review- Babicz April 4, 2012
Reviewer: Dean Forman from Coventry, RI United States  
We've installed many Babicz bridges on Strats & Teles in our repair shop. They appear well made and the cam design rocks. It's your call if it's worth the cash and worth taking your axe away from stock. Recouping money spent on any modification is usually lost at the sale.

NOTE... A customer brought us a set of Babicz saddles (only) for us to install on his Fender Clapton 6-point Strat bridge plate. While the spacing was correct, the low E  & G saddles couldn't be brought back enough in order to make the intonation correct. The saddle becomes cocked due to the angle of the intonation adjustment screw. Also, don't expect to this to fix trem tuning issues unless your bridge is worn excessively. Not staying in tune is usually NOT the bridges fault.

As far as any noticeable tone difference or sustain goes, it's totally subjective, so we'll let other reviewers go there. Just beware of what you believe.

MORE than Excellent/Genius! March 29, 2012
Reviewer: Greg Piette from SOUTHPORT, NC United States  
Leo never spent much time refining his designed tremolo. Vibrato as he called it. He admits this himself. Doesn't really matter, because Leo's concept as a whole was pure GENIUS! A design that has stood the test of 60 years!

BUT this leaves us today with sound  transfer issues and certainly tuning consistency issues. Jeff Babicz has completely and utterly solved these two very distinct shortcomings of the Fender Tremolo. His Genius refinement of that system rivals that of Leo's original Genius concept, in terms of scale. These bridges are true to form and function, adhering to the original Fender design concept, while correcting the physical design shortcomings elegantly.
Every guitar we make requiring a Fender type tremolo gets the Full Contact bridge. Every parameter is vastly improved . Tone, Sustain, Action, Stability, and general musicality!
Frankly we hesitated writing a review for Full Contact as we consider it one of our "trade secrets".
