I don't have a real strat, I have a squier, but I was
reading something on the fenderforum about springs and
some guy meantioned that 5 springs = built in reverb.
I have the back of mine open too. So for you guys who
don't hear any hum, if you play through distortion and
like pluck a spring, you don't hear that through the
amp? Or if you play a note and cut it really quick,
you don't hear the springs vibrating that note? I
have 4 springs in the back of my guitar and use 12
guage strings, but I always had the hum, even when I
had 3 springs and 10 guage strings. And yes my guitar
snaps back in tune after I whammy. What do you guys
mean about tightening the springs? Maybe my squier
doesn't have that?
