Been playing Strats for 30 years and used plumbers PTFE tape to stop trem arm wobble. Just discovered these springs and when I tried to install one, discovered that the trem block in my Strat had actually split with the pressure of so many years of tape compacting into it. Bought new trem block, fitted it and installed spring, perfect job and better than tape. If you own a Strat YOU NEED THESE!!!! even if, like me you have never heard of them.

In my opinion the spring wasn't stout enough It remained in a compressed state after just one use. Maybe i screwed it down too much,but then again,I had too to get the arm into the height position I'm used to (Stock) Great concept. But I would gladly have paid more for better quality spring steel. That being said,the item is fit for purpose- just a question mark over how long ?

I've had my American Standard Stratocaster for almost 2 years now, and happened to be looking through tips and hints on a well known site that this article will not allow me to mention u tube ,I saw an article entitled "10 things you don't know about Stratocasters". Always willing to listen to someone with more knowledge than myself, I had to check it out, it mentioned the silver dot covering the socket for the whammy bar that keeps in place this small spring. If you attach your whammy bar on top of this little spring, it will allow you to rest the whammy where it suits you as opposed to letting it dangle loose or winding it tightly but in a position that doesn't suit your playing style. Unfortunately these springs are small and easy to lose so I had to get spares. I found the advert for these little beasties and they are just the job.Read full review

First up, they are too long - when the trem arm first hits the spring it is way too high. Secondly, if you screw it in further the 'spring' just compresses and stays squashed. There is no 'spring back'. Try squeezing one in a set of pliers and you'll see what I mean. The result I found is that the now mangled piece of metal becomes permanently jammed in the bottom of the threaded hole, so you can't screw your bar in fully, but it doesn't tension up either. Useless. And yes, I was trying then on a genuine Fender trem bridge. I give it one star because there is no zero option...
