Fred, that's a new one one me! Maybe I never noticed the effect because I
have my springs tightened as far as they will go (I pick some songs while
holding the "tremelo" bar, and would tend to push the notes flat), plus the
bridge is blocked so it can't be pushed down (when I rested my palm on the
bridge, I tended to push the notes sharp). Maybe you could try using fewer
springs, and tightening the remaining ones to change the resonance?
Interesting problem!
Best regards, Dana Vincent

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] Spring Ring
I was just wondering what most people with strats do
about the ringing/humming that comes from the springs
in the back. When the bridge pickup is selected I
usually get a kind of murky reverb/echo/ringing from
them through my amp when I play. I don't really mind
it that much, but I was wondering if people mute it
somehow or if anybody thought that it covers up the
guitar sounds too much.
