If you want that fender magic you shouldn't cut corners. Tone is such an elusive thing you have to cover all the bases. This claw and spring set is such a small investment there is no reason to take chances with this.

First , the positives: 1) This is a stock Fender part for not a lot of cash. It fits perfectly and it's inexpensive. 2) The claw is solid and should hold up well. The screws are fat for good retention in the body and they are quite long for lots of adjustability. Next, the negatives: 1) The springs are not "vintage" y any means. They are the same rock hard springs found in modern Mexican and American Strats. Nothing special. They make plenty of that annoying "sproing" noise when playing the guitar. 2) The biggest complaint is that it is VERY difficult to ground. The plating is quote thick - I had to use a Dremel tool to scrape off enough to give the solder a good surface to stick to. Also, there is no indentation like you usually find on trem claws, meaning you can't hook the ground wire in place for soldering. Unless you have pro equipment and ninja wiring skills, good luck getting a solid ground connection. In conclusion; it is a sturdy part that fits and doesn't cost a lot. Unless you have great soldering equipment and skills, I recommend spending a few bucks more for an aftermarket part with the ground wire pre-installed. Read full review

I purchased these springs for my 91 SRV stratocaster because the originals tension were failing. They were extremely easy to install on the original claw, (bought package with the claw in case there was a slippage issue) and wanted to keep it as close to original as possible. There is no spring buzzing inside the cavity while playing and the tremelo has full range of motion and returns to its original position. I would recommend these Vintage spring because they as good as the originals.

Genuine Fender parts are always the best! Except Taiwan screws have bent and stripped out very easy??
