Why? Well, with the Fender design (and virtually every other floating vibrato), when you bend one string, the other strings go flat. When you pull the arm up, however, it’s only the forward steel block that moves, the main brass block remains stationary and the vibrato stays flat on the body.
One of the Blade’s most innovative features is its Falcon vibrato, which uses two blocks: as you down-bend they combine with the three springs for a standard down-bend feel. Again, plenty use a similar feature today, but that wasn’t the case back in the late 80s. The contrasting headstock plug tells us the truss rod adjustment is at the body end of the neck, but removing the Levinson-logo’d plastic plug you get access to a multi-holed nut, so tweaks are dead easy. The neck is immediately engaging, though its shape is very mainstream.
