Review: 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it fit a MIJ strat?**
A: Not quite sure.. but i think it's standard fit for any guitar.. someone correct me if I'm wrong please

**Q: I’ve read that “raw vintage” springs work better for decked tremolo because of less tension (require less trem arm force). Are these lower tension?**
A: I’m not sure if they work “better” for decked bridges but they do have lower tension. The old vintage strat springs did have less tension so that’s the point here. I guess if your looking for less tension with a decked bridge then they would do the job

**Q: How to these compare to the Raw Vintage springs?**
A: Don't know. Have never purchased Raw vintage springs. Sorry. Vintage springs are shorter than normal springs.

**Q: Will these fit my Squier strat?**
A: Sure.  They will fit any Fender or Squier stratocaster with a vintage style tremelo.

*by P***E on 26 July 2021*

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.
