Perfect for the System 1 MIJ Contemporary series… – I use three on my 1986 MIJ Stratocaster….I bough that guitar new in 1986 and these springs are a perfect fit and

I have tried the “Vintage” springs that many like, but I find them way – These are what Jeff Beck uses. 3 of them fanned out from the middle three claws to the outer 3 trem-block holes. I have tried the “Vintage” springs that many like, but I find them way, i say, way too stiff. 2 of them are almost to much. Stiff may be good, but I don’t know why. Just the tension to push down on the trem bar is hard enough I am afraid the arm will snap off. The black coated springs wear out after 2 years or so, get a little loose, so my purchase of 6 gives me at least 4 more years of good use, pretty good for the money.

Cool look – There was no need to install them besides of the cool look. I don’t use the whammy bar on my Fender, I locked it down with the five springs and a wood block. But as mentioned, the black springs look cool in the tobacco burst Stratocaster. Since I (always) get rid of this kind of useless cover on the back of these guitars.

Slightly lower tension than chrome looking versions I’ve tried – which is what I was hoping for! – I wanted springs with a slightly lower tension so that I could tighten up the claw and not have spring flub/slack on my floating tremolo when raising pitch – these worked great.

Perfect for new style Fender Stratocaster – Last summer I purchased a Fender Mod Shop ‘50s style Stratocaster. Unlike my vintage 1965 Strat which came with five Vibrato springs (aka Tremolo), this newer model came with three springs. While I found the function of the vibrato arm to work very well, it was just a bit too soft for my taste. I took off the rear plate where I discovered there were only three springs, I also discovered that the springs were different than on my ‘65, they had a black coating instead of a silver metallic look, are slightly longer, and possibly have less tension. The spring plate however was the same and ready to accommodate five springs. I searched for genuine Fender Stratocaster springs and found these which are advertised to work with newer model Strats. When I received them I added a single spring and readjusted the tension for the added force, the vibrato arm now feels just right (I also use four springs on my 65). I would recommend these springs to anyone needing more ‘new style’ Stratocaster springs — these are not for Vintage, or older model Strats.

Finally, the right stuff! – I build custom gtrs on the side, and the one pictured was given to me by the guy who originally designed it before this model went into production. He used it for yrs as his main studio ax. Not sure how, actually, because using the trem it never stayed in tune for me at all. I have at least 8 sets of various brand springs with various spring rates, none really changed the tuning instability. Then I tried these, and after messing around a bit I found that the tuning stability was finally going in the right direction, but not perfect yet, so I finally added the SuperVee Stabilizer. Now you can jump on it and it stays in tune. Of course, most of that is because of the SuperVee, but these springs having a better, lighter, smoother spring rate really helped the overall feel.

Good solution for spring overtones – These are great solution for reducing overtones of non coated springs. You could put some foam under the springs or just buy these. Got these for a PRS Silver Sky which comes with three springs. I needed to install 5 of these to get similar tension.

Perfect for any strat – Excellent for any fender Strat, I switched to five springs & deck out the bridge(s)…these springs are excellent and look great (backing plates all removed). Would buy again & again
