Fender 994931000 Tremolo Block Tension Springs - 12 pack

Bought these to keep in my guitar tech case for trem units on Strat-style guitars. Just pop one into the trem bar hole on the bridge and they add a little tension to the trem bar so you don't have to tighten it all the way up to keep it in place, the tension of the spring does the work.

This solves the problem of keeping the vibrato arm in place. The spring drops in and once tightened the arm "floats" and will remain wherever you place it. A good solution, unless you like it loose and then of course you probably won't be looking for this anyway. It worked for me.

Ideal to help keep the whammy bar in place, plenty of spares and official product too. Works really well, highly recommended to keep the whammy bar in any position you need.

These ittle springs are great. They mean you can place the tremolo arm in a position that you want to, without it either being over tight or floppy. Before you order theses however you have to check that the spring will not just fall through the hole where the tremolo arm screws into. Use a cocktail stick to check that the spring will not fall through. The hole will be about an inch or so deep. If the cocktail stick doesn’t stop then the spring will not work. If you need to remove the arm to put your guitar into a case, put a little sellotape over the hole to stop the spring falling out.

These springs are effective in resolving the age-old "loose tremolo arm" problems with the Stratocaster and work a treat on my 2019 player Strat with the 2-pin bridge At £7.65 for 12 they feel slightly overpriced, but I won't round down my rating as they function exactly as expected. Shipping a dozen of them is handy as some will inevitibly be lost, although I would recomend storing them in a small sealable container as they are liable to go missing if kept loose in your gig bag or case. For a simple solution to an irritating feature of the Strat bridge, these springs are highly recommended.

Not sure if my MIM Roland ready 2002 stratocaster has been modified, but these springs passed straight through the trem arm thread and through into the spring cavity and out via the rear cover hole! Thus they didn't work at all - no fault of the springs themselves. Does any one else know if the tremolo arm 5mm thread is drilled all the way through on their strats or should it be a blind hole?

This is an actual Fender product, the set of springs came in a bag with a marked tag as all fender extras do, so nothing cheap. Down to the springs, they are a simple thing that makes a big difference stopping the tremelo arm going anywhere else except where you put it and stopping if from continually being wound in tight and stripping the threads. Like I said it's a simple thing that gives another feel of quality to your instrument.

I can't believe I've owned Strats for decades and did not know about this quick fix for the tremolo! Just pop in a spring and tighten and all looseness and juddering disappears. Well worth the price and worth having extras in case it ever drops out!

Perfecto. Lástima que ya no esté disponible en Amazon

Ótimas molas!

Finalmente la leva non balla più, le molle sono originali infatti funzionano perfettamente. Ci tengo a precisare che la leva non scenderà più verso il basso per effetto della gravità, ma rimarrà bloccata nella posizione in cui l'avrete rilasciata. Non è scomodo è solo questione di abitudine.

Perfect.

Le quedaron perfecto a mi guitarra
