## Description

FENDER AMERICAN VINTAGE TREMOLO TENSION SPRINGS – SET OF 5GENUINE FENDER PARTS: Set of five Stratocaster tremolo tension springs for use on American Vintage series and Custom Shop instruments.FEATURES:- Set of five nickel-plated steel tremolo tension springs- For American Vintage Series™ and Custom Shop™ instrumentsFENDER® - THE WORLD’ S LEADING GUITAR MANUFACTURER.

Review: The bee's knee's - I didn't realise how much of difference a new set of springs would make to the sound and sustain on my Squire Stratocaser Standard, I'm really impressed. I used all 5 springs and didn't bother with some of the 3 spring arrangements you might see on youtube. Fender provides 5 in a pack and there are 5 connectors on the guitar. Arranging this way distributes equal tension on each spring which makes sense to me. I've had problems with the floating bridge with the older springs but a few adjustments and its solid and holds tune now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will it fit a MIJ strat?**
A: Not quite sure.. but i think it's standard fit for any guitar.. someone correct me if I'm wrong please

**Q: I’ve read that “raw vintage” springs work better for decked tremolo because of less tension (require less trem arm force). Are these lower tension?**
A: I’m not sure if they work “better” for decked bridges but they do have lower tension. The old vintage strat springs did have less tension so that’s the point here. I guess if your looking for less tension with a decked bridge then they would do the job

**Q: How to these compare to the Raw Vintage springs?**
A: Don't know. Have never purchased Raw vintage springs. Sorry. Vintage springs are shorter than normal springs.

**Q: Will these fit my Squier strat?**
A: Sure.  They will fit any Fender or Squier stratocaster with a vintage style tremelo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great springs
*by M***E on 6 June 2023*

I used these as a replacement for the springs in a budget guitar 2 point tremolo and the made a big difference. The trem action is now nice and smooth and stability is much improved.
