Re: [SurfGuitar101] Spring Ring

mark scialabba (reverb115) - 19 Feb 2002 15:33:37

Wrap some electrical tape 4 or 5 times around all the springs loosely on each
side. You dont need to cover all of the springs, just a little on each end. That
is enough to stop the springs from making any noise, and not effect the springs
from working the tremelo properly.
Some guitars have the problem and some dont. My strats don't do it, but I have a
cheap pointy Ibanez thing that does it. It probably has something to do with the
wood type.

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.
