Perfect for tremolo decking

Hardtailer 07.09.2021

I used 5 of those to deck the trem of my Strat clone, as I don't use it and I like my guitars to stay in tune.

This guitar has a thin tremolo block, offering much less inertia than those with more mass. As a result a massive amount of string energy was dissipated by the trem springs. Screwing in the spring claw all the way to the front of the cavity didn't solve the problem, so I decided to deck the trem.

I get quite a bit more sustain that way, as expected. The string vibrations also propagate much more through the wood: I can feel them clearly in the neck now for example, whereas before decking the vibrations were mainly located in the body around the bridge and spring cavity.

For anyone attempting the same operation, remember to mute the springs to limit mechanical noise. I cut lengths of electrical velcro ties the same size as the spring coils, rolled them up with the fuzz facing out and inserted them in the springs before installing them. It works like a charm.

Good for downtuning

Kurt vonSaab 23.09.2018

pro:
nice and stiff
more tension than regular springs
good for downtuning.

cons:
expected them to be a bit stiffer. but all good.

tip: put some foam inside them or some shrinkwrap over them to eliminate unwanted string noise

Report

okay

Stretch them a few times and they seem to hold the same tension

Good spring

Poggiali 26.07.2023

Nothing bad to say... it is a stiffer spring than usual ones in your Strat type guitars. Nicely packaged, and coated.
