Members ksl Posted October 31, 2019 Members Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi all..... What's the skinny on these allegedly light springs for my Strat?I'll be running a floating system bo do mild Bigsby like bends...no divebombing. Are they truly lighter than the average gauge springs i have in my toolbox? I know FU-Tone offers 4 or 5 differently weighted noiseless springs & he suggested that 2 springs is ideal. I just don't know enough as this is my 1st Strat DIY, & my only guitar with a standard Strat setup. FWIW i use 9-42's & i want the best & softest control, & something that hopefully returns to pitch. Who doesn't?! I installed a KGC staggered claw & the big brass block. Any suggestions, & are the Raws any way to go? & how many for optimum pitch return? Thank in advance. 🕉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jtr654 Posted November 1, 2019 Members Share Posted November 1, 2019 I use 4 or 5 spring and it stays in tune. You should also have a straight pull on the springs. The way it's pictured here the spring tension will be at a angle and not even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
