## Overview

Fender American Series Stratocaster Tremolo Arm Tension Springs provide reliable, adjustable tension to keep your tremolo arm locked in place. Compatible with a wide range of Fender models, these durable metal springs come in a pack of twelve, ensuring professional-grade performance and easy installation for guitarists seeking flawless vibrato control.

## Description

This spring helps set your tremolo arm in a fixed position when used with any Fender American series or American Standard series tremolo. Simply insert spring into tremolo arm receptacle prior to installing tremolo arm.

Review: Just what the doctor ordered - This simple hack works surprisingly well. The springs are helping to hold the vibrato bar in place in my 70th anniversary 54 AVRI Strat and also in my Korean Squier with Guitar Fetish import "shorty" trem block. You should stop screwing as soon as you feel the lightest resistance and the vibrato bar stays where you want it. If you screw all the way in you may run into issues (over compressed spring, damaged threads, stuck spring, etc.)
Review: Excellent - Great spring. Do a very good job keeping them arm wherever I need it to be.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a 6-point mexican strat tremelo?  if they did you'd think fender would include on the mexis - but they don't!**
A: No. It does not work on my 2001 Mexican Fender either. Like the other comments say, the spring falls right thru the hole. Very disappointing, I love my Mexi Strat but this is NOT a fix.

**Q: would these work on a squier affinity series?**
A: As long as your arm is threaded, yes they will work.  A word of caution, those springs are so strong I had to cut it down about 1/3 to 1/2 of it's height, because you need to get the arm far enough into the tremolo hole so the threads don't show. That way, there is more arm inside the hole so it does not get to much pressure in one spot.

**Q: Are these springs original, made by Fender?**
A: They came in a Fender package and do the job nicely on my squire standard strat.

**Q: Would this fit a '97 Crafted in Japan '62 reissue bridge?**
A: Not sure but I fitted a spring to each of my 1989 Strat plus delux and my 2013 Roland ready Mexican strat successfully. After a gig I remove the trem arm and cover the hole with a bit of tape to stop the spring coming out. (just in case it does). I found it gives the trem arm more feel, ie the effect of the tremelo is more responsive and stays where it is parked when not needed. Sycamore0_2

Great spring. Do a very good job keeping them arm wherever I need it to be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple upgrade that should be standard!
*by O***. on September 17, 2025*

This is such a simple upgrade that is a complete game changer. Drop it in the tremolo socket, then screw in the tremolo arm to the point where there is a bit of resistance. Stops the arm from "dangling" without having to tighten to the max. The springs are good quality and tiny, don't drop them on a thick rug or carpet.
