Members Coma Larkin Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 You could pretty easily rig up a foam muffler onto a fulcrum-like switch to turn it "on" and "off". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lolque? Posted March 28, 2011 Members Share Posted March 28, 2011 When I play my Strat or Mustang unplugged, I can hear the springs in the trem resonating - it's particularly noticeable on certain notes. I kind of like it. But putting a spring reverb, with its much lighter springs into a guitar body? It would be way too sensitive to motion to be usable IMO. I love that effect on my jazzmaster with the strings behind the bridge. Though it's different than the mustang/strat trem setup, I think it's in a similar vein. It sounds really cool when you're playing loudly, and it gets picked up. Kind of adds some ghost notes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 A spring reverb in a jazzmaster!? Oh, need to see pics on this one! ! ^ nope it will be a hollow or semi hollowbody for space reasons... but it will be awesome... i'm on the lookout for guitars/parts and the verb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hangwire Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 you know, i'm going to let my inner Tesla go sit in the corner for a while and back off this project... I have TOOOOOOOOOO many guitar projects at this time and this can go on the WAYYYYYYYY backburner... sorry folks... but in a DYI & less elegant way, here is how you can do this to just about any guitar [with pics]: + + = add a short patch cable and it is externally what i was going to do in a hollowbody... 9v powered, has it's own on/off switch, and you can even do some delay tweaking if you do the uma mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WeStartToDrift Posted March 31, 2011 Members Share Posted March 31, 2011 I put a Seymour Duncan jaguar pickup over the springs in an old {censored}ty fernandes stat knock-off. Sounded pretty cool when blended with the other pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stray-O-Caster Posted January 13, 2021 Members Share Posted January 13, 2021 I'm doing this: I have an old cheap Asian Strat knockoff that plays nice. The guitar came with a fake Filipino Jazzmaster trem that was never really meant to be taken seriously, so I put a good bridge on, gutted the spring and arm from the trem and left the plate there. This leaves a convenient steel plate covered box at the butt of the guitar. I stuck half a p-bass pickup down in the hole. It fits just right. I have some trem springs laying around, and there's just enough room in the cavity to attach them with eye-screws to the wood under where the bridge is mounted, and stretch them just a little, across the p-bass pickup, and attach the other end at the back of the hole. I attached a tuner to a little bench jig I made, and found that you can tune a strat trem spring to E or B without very much stretch at all. I'll give the bass pickup it's own volume control, which I can mount thru the hole where the trem arm used to stick out of the plate. I had to do a small bit of routing there, but it fits. I've had this idea of in-guitar spring reverb for a long time, inspired by the same idea as someone above, hearing my trem springs resonate on Strats and Jazzmasters. I put a tele pickups on this guitar in a Strat config, two chrome neck pups and a stock tele bridge, wired with a five way switch. It's going to be Leo's nightmare come true, A Strato-Jazza-Tele. The illegal, but authentic looking "Stratocaster" decal is missing the middle letters 'TO', so I'm going to put a matching 'Y' in their place. It's going to be weird no matter how it turns out, but what I'm hoping for, is the love child of Ennio Morricone and a Bond girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
