I needed some additional Tremolo springs and these were exactly what I expected. Genuine Fender. Fit perfectly.

Replaced a few springs in my old SRV strat. They fit perfectly and matched the old ones very well.

These are quality springs, but I can't say my expectations were high. I made a 3-D CAD model of this and posted it on GrabCad (Fender Tremolo Tension Spring).

Perfect fit for my stratocasters . I needed to replace the original springs due to wear and age because my bridge was pulled up , I added these springs and it is perfect again . Great value and work as advertised .

Fender JapanにこれをつけたらCustom Shopに近づけるかと思いましたが、トレモロの高さや、オクターブチューニングも全く変化なし。Fender Japanも、Custom Shopのスプリングに相当近いのだとわかりました。

Works fine, does its job. Its a little shorter than my stock springs, but nothing else, should be fine.

I recently install the Fender Standard Vintage bridge assembly on my Donnor DST-152R which resonates with improvement. The Donnor comes with 3 springs and they work fine it's just for me I don't use the whammy bar much and don't care for how the guitar goes out of tune when used. So I decided to install all 5 Fender springs to deck the bride assembly, which increases sustain and stabilizes the guitar from going out of tune. It works well for me and I still can use the whammy bar in the downward position.

J'ai remplacé les 3 ressorts de ma Pacifica 611VFM par ce jeu de 5 pour remplacer les cordes 9-42 d'origine par du 10-46 car les vis de maintient de la griffe étaient très serrées pour plaquer le vibrato, du coup j'ai pu diminuer la tension des ressorts et je constate une amélioration du rendu sonore et un fonctionnement plus souple du vibrato.

Adquirí este juego de muelles original Fender made in USA P.N. 0031643049 para fijar el puente flotante de mi Fender Stratocaster American Standard del 92'. Vale para cualquier guitarra con puente flotante tipo Strato.El puente flotante permite utilizar la palanca de trémolo tanto para subir como para bajar la afinación momentáneamente, pero ocasiona problemas de estabilidad de afinación.El puente se mantiene flotante gracias a 3 muelles que se oponen a la tensión de las cuerdas. Si intalamos 5 muelles en lugar de los 3 originales el puente queda pegado al cuerpo de la guitarra, con lo que la afinación mejora en estabilidad, aumenta el sustain de la guitarra e incluso el tono mejora con un sonido más grueso, con más graves.A cambio, la acción de la palanca de trémolo queda muy limitada, sólo permite bajar la afinación y con más esfuerzo. De hecho es mejor no utilizarla, demasiada tensión. Hay quien complementa la operación instalando una cuña de madera tras el bloque del puente, que lo fija del todo y, según he leído por ahí, aumenta aún más el sustain. No he querido llegar a límites tan drásticos, pero sí he dado un par de vueltas a los tirafondos que fijan el soporte donde se enganchan los muelles, para tensarlos un poco más y hacer que el asiento del puente sobre el cuerpo de la guitarra sea aún más firme.En todo caso, después de instalar los muelles hay que corregir la altura de las cuerdas con las selletas del puente, así como la octavación.El resultado final, muy satisfactorio.

I’ve always heard that tremolo springs never really wear out, but from a recent experience have found that’s just not the case.I performed the last string change on my American Stratocaster (which is about 15 years old) using the same light-gauge strings I always had, Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9’s. When I went to double-check the guitar’s set-up, to my horror I noticed that the rear of the bridge had lifted about a half inch off the body, when it was previously decked.This guitar’s hardware is totally stock, with no locking nut, tuners, or things of that nature. That said, I prefer to keep the bridge decked since it stays in tune much better, plus I only use the tremolo for dives anyway.In my opinion, out-of-the-box Stratocaster hardware isn’t very well suited for floating the bridge without encountering tuning issues. To accomplish that reliably, you may need to take out a second mortgage on your house to be able to afford complete Floyd Rose replacements.After some considerable tightening of the spring claw (3 stock springs were installed, all mounted vertically), I still couldn’t get the situation remedied, and dared not over-tighten it. So, I decided to give new springs a try.Returning the claw to its original position and installing 3 of these took care of the problem, which told me the old springs were indeed weakening. Then, out of curiosity I installed all 5. Of course, depressing the tremolo arm now requires more force, but I’m still able to get over a full step down on dives with minimal depressing. That’s more than enough for me.I really like the feel of the arm much better now, and left all 5 springs installed without any issues whatsoever. Even with totally stock hardware, since the bridge is once again well-decked, it rarely slips out of tune.Granted, this may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s worked out very well for me and my playing style.Lesson learned: I now have no doubt that Stratocaster tremolo bridge springs do in fact weaken over time, especially if you use the tremolo a lot. Thinking about it, if they didn’t, why would they sell these in the first place?Replacing them is such a piece of cake, and obviously not an expensive thing to undertake if you run into a similar problem.
