Here’s an idea, make spring claw screws that have thick heads that are compatible with a socket driver. That way we don’t have to worry about stripping the screws. You can sell them in a pack with a small knurled driver for 35-40 dollars or less.. just an idea. You can also make claws with a “ground” port like the tremel no. Sooner or later I’m going to get another guitar with a Floyd and pick up some your parts.. keep up the good work!

Thank you for explaining this simple concept of how to set up a floating vibrato without tuning and retuning several times. If the bridge is in the same position as when it was tuned and/or intonated, and the tuners have not been touched, the tuning and intonation remain correct. I block my vibrato as you do, and then I put down a piece of masking tape across the spring cavity, with the edge of the tape aligned with the vibrato block's edge. When I unblock the vibrato, I adjust the claw until the vibrato block's edge and the masking tape's edge are aligned and the guitar is back in tune.

I like your calm delivery, its simple physics. An interesting video would be explaining how the different spring rates change the amount of force it takes to depress a tremelo arm. The 5 lbs = 5 lbs is good, with springs (and the strings also serve as an opposing spring) there's a certain amount of preload to get there. Once your trem is zeroed, you can decide if you like a stiffer trem when depressing the arm, or lighter. The quantity of springs, spring rate, and wire gauge will change the feel. 2 springs more preload will feel lighter, 3 springs less preload will feel heavier. I saw a guy in another video use a fishing scale to measure spring rates, it was good. This video is awesome because he showed you the man behind curtain is just a man, not a wizard with magic pixie dust. It's physics. Motocross suspension tech here. Its all about preload and rate.

I use 5 springs. And tune down to D standard. - C# standard.. And that Way. Sure. The bar is stiff. But I can bend my 9-46 strings up. Say. The G string. Up 3 full steps. Without any deflection. It still floats fine. Dive bomb. Or Dime squeels.. getcha Pull... Works fine. But I can bend up to the next strings pitch. And it's just like a Set bridge. Because it's Strong enough to hold against the bend.. This is what works for me...

this is a most excellent video on the topic of spring tension. however, i would like to discuss noiseless springs. i don't think i understand the need for noiseless. there is a difference between spring rattle and spring vibration. spring vibration is a byproduct of string vibration, fundamental in making an instrument gain in resonance, this is, the harmonic output of the instrument. now, spring rattle, that buzzy kind of sound produced by a bad fit between the claw and the springs, that is undesirable, but that is avoided by having a proper setup, not -only- with noiseless springs. noiseless springs have a tradeoff: no spring rattle, but no apparent spring vibration either, whereas "vintage" or traditional springs will have perceptible vibration. by adjusting spring tension, springs can be tuned, too, and this enhances harmonic output. for instance, my strat has three springs, two of which are -/+10 cents away from E when properly set up. this makes it so that every E note i play, be it chords or single notes, sound harmonically rich, as in the E notes instantly generate overtones: the subsequent harmonics of the fundamental E. but you can tune it to whatever your springs allow. this will depend on the spring mass. this, i believe, is no secret for floating trem users, at least on an intuitive level. so why renounce to the full harmonic potential of the guitar?? it truly is a beautiful experience, to fine tune your guitar for harmonic output, and to hear that resonance in play. it is bliss, it is truly graceful. i would never want to take that away from my guitar.

you need as many springs as it takes to balance the tension with your strings, if you block or just go solid? dealers choice . . one big note on these painted or coated springs? do not forget to scrape the hook ends down to bare metal, that's your ground right? so it has to go thru your spring anchor, thru springs, thru block thru plate, thru saddles, thru strings, unless however you have a completely different ground schematic.. like a regular strat, yes the main ground is soldered to the spring claw, so if the spring hook end is coated that signal cannot reach the block .. however if you are setting up a standard strat say 09-46 strings, you want 3 springs, I need a little more string tension to balance a strat scale to balance 3 fenner CS springs, so I go with 9.5-46 and that's about perfect at E flat tuning, yes I have been dialing this in for a while, tried many custom string sets, if I use 10-52's at standard tuning, 4 springs almost perfect, remember not all springs have the same tension so check, easy to do if you know how to synchronize a bridge, plus you can feel it, bend pressure vs whammy bar pressure required to or tension.. its not lopsided, and if you are not dialed in to be able to tell if a big G string 1.5 step string tension bend is the same spring tension as a 1.5 step bar bend then you're not there yet.. try this, lock the block, use all 5 springs, then screw the spring claw all the way in, now whammy it, feel the tension it takes, now back em out a half step and by that I mean put a tuner on the headstock, screw put the tw screws till you're tuned down a half step, do some 1.5 step bar bends, feel it, keep backing the springs out .5 steps at a time feeling the tension how it lightens up, feel the increments.. it tune it back to standard then use the whammy on the G string, start at 12th fret to go up 1.5 steps at a time feeling that pressure or tension required to achieve this... do this until you have to pull out all but 2 springs, start with 5 springs, go down 1.5 at a time backing out the claw, when screws are out, remove one spring, tighten claw all the way again, 1.5 increments.... it will get totally light with just 2 springs left, now go back up adding 1 spring at a time... go up a 1.5 steps at a time, working that whammy each setting at least a dozen times or more, actually whammy up 1.5 steps at a time until you can do 1.5 step bar bends blind folded, not using the tuner at each setting of 1.5 steps .. do fnger bends next same way 12th fret, 1.5 steps up bends on each fret till the 18th or so.. at this point you develop not only way better whammy bar skills but your ability to go up a half, full 1.5 will be more accurate, but moreso you will have a real good feel for how much tension it requires to go up 1.5 steps with the bar and your finger bends. . . . you will be able to determine when your whammy or tremolo is synchronized to your strings when the tension is perfectly balanced, and the trick is not to get it half assed balanced, but PERFECTLY, cuz there are tonal and playing benefits by doing this along with the most critical benefit, tuning stability .. lets say your spring tension is stronger than your string tension by a half step or vice versa you should be able to feel this, but alas it will not stay in tune when its not balanced specially if you bend a lot and use the whammy a lot and want to hit exact notes with the bar and finger bends.. not just laying into it doing a dive bomb whatever, but precision playing ,

Great video, as you've stated your personal preference is the fewest springs for less spring noise. With advertised noiseless springs? BUT.... I was using 4 springs with the logic that more springs added more mass under tension coupling my strings and bridge to the body thus improving my tone and i believe that logic to be valid, yet I wasn't getting the flutter or chirp trem effects i desired and wanted to try many different spring tensions until i could attain the most sustained trem flutter possible. Switching to 3 springs did that as well as improved the feel of the tremolo bars resistance. Thank you guys for offering unique diverse products for us tone chasers. My question being does adding or subtracting the mass of the tremolo via a heavier block effect the sustain of the chirp and flutter effect? Logic seems to indicate it would. I have installed several fat brass and stainless steel blocks on stock strats and many different double locking tremolo systems and they most definately inproved tone or rather enhanced the existing tone and without a proven scientific measuring device I couldn't say it had more sustain although to my touch and ear it seemed to. Through testing and research my quest is the perfect tremolo to enhance my personal playing style. Sometimes a solid design on paper doesn't translate to real world without beta testing a prototype proper logic be damned. Please stay blessed, healthy and continue your work for us artist that use an electric guitar as our musical voice and tool for artistic expression.

this is a fantastic video and helps alot for setting up guitars, thank you very much! i have a question though, what is the difference in feel and tuning stability. Using 2 red springs, 3 black springs or 3 mixed springs?, i noticed during the years, that some springs, once you pull the tremolo, will not immediatly return to the zero position, hence the guitar will go out of tune slightly, once you play a few notes and chords, the guitar then will be in tune again. i´m not good at physics, lol, but it has something to do with the lagness of the material of the spring after the elastic movement (tremolo usage) to return back in its counterweight-position. do you think 2 heavy springs works better than 3 medium springs or even 5 soft springs in terms of return back to the exact counterweight position? hope that made sense what i wrote, english is not my first language

So why change the spring tension at all if its all the same? Is there a reason to buy a heavy duty spring over a normal one? Sure different tunings make for different tensions but if all you need to do is move the claw you would have to run out of travel in the claw before a different spring tension is even necessary. Are there stability aspects to consider for more or less springs?

You add spring tension at the start by screwing the claw screws further in so that when you block the trem block with (the taped wrench he used)something that it maintains the bridge level with the body on the top side.

Funreed *Who made FRANKENSTRAT &FLOYD ROSE?* Thanks 4videos very informative. Best of least evils. Yea I chose a Gotoh Floyd 4my build. Lol that Vega trim Lucifer came out with recently 2Whitewash my "Floyd." He knows I gonna design couple guitars sell ebay lolmost &that I would reveal 2u guyz thfollowing truth. People dont understand why I design Floyd like I did. Floyd didnt invent "Floyd Rose" i did &Frankenstrat was mine. (Lucifer gave it 2Floyd) Mine (my "Floyd") had ball bearing pivots &bar. Thbar was wide comfy oval. My Drop D wasnt Like Eds lol. Mine was also an on thfly hardtail of sorts that would drop &set entire guitar in much steeper increments of your choice all 6 strings still in tune simultaneously &this was due my propensity 2incorporate Dr. Dre bass as i play, without running out of headroom down low, &, Satans bllsht law tunes u guyz strings 2tight. And so, scratching head, I had 2find way loosen them CORRECTLY@ WILL but momemtarily so I could re tune 2 the idiocy this entire matrix subscribes. Vibrating metal: Has a sweet spot. Lol current string tension aint it. Thtrem concept began such that when string break u just loosen tuner lengthen clamp string back in thtrem vice where it broke, fixed! U get 9lives per string no1 gets that 2this day lol. Strings dont wear out lol. Thats marketing lie. A-hah moment guyz: Bleev it or not, Bells made of brass 4a reason. Lol Satan made solid brass blocks which are useful as a flat tire my brass block had a specific shape. Hollowed out? (...crickets.) Satan controls all manufacturing. Trems 2day emmit vampiric frequencies that weaken yr chakras see 95% humans Yahweh calls PLASTICINES. These plasticine computer animations, avatars in thflesh not humans &they control &advertize all manufacturing. Satan rules with computer get it? He can hack reality google is named after black goo he drank from Yahwehs pure evil abandoned creation computer on Saturn. I am playing guitar again. ..&re building my old Frankenstrat 2 a massively improved1&might sell a couple ebay. Ed left thFrankenstrat, I have his modern stage guitar now. Satan named it "Wolfgang" 4a reason. That crippling thing tears u 2pieces with vampiric frequencies &demons &issues. Dont bleev me? Google EBAY. Play my new1. Satan is Jesus elder of 2million years. He hacked Yahwehs creation computer. He a magician compared 2u his guitars &trems demonic magic tricks designed deliberately 2suck. Deep inside, u KNOW they suck. U are not dumb. &U 5star review his batsht guitars from hell. Bad is now good, good is now bad thumbs down NOT ALLOWED. Van Halen didnt know th Frabkendiamond he held in his hand. He left thFrankenstrat. When some1 buys my "Frank" ebay yea. They will2. Thpond waters have flipped. With people 5star reviewing thmuck clouding their vision. U cant give a poison person Heaven. U cant. Yahweh stated "they will tear their house down with their bare hands." And then they will turn around &rip u 2pieces. 10 years ago had a famous You Tube channel famous musicians subbed when i uploaded tapes of when I re produced their songs on guitar back in 1987. Then Yahweh told us no point in speaking 2them anymore. We were sent 2make a change. He shut us down. I closed thchannel. Satan then went 2court in Heaven &won &downloaded his "pandemic." Most every1 now Plasticines without Yahwehs DNA anymore. Back then I sent out angels 2design me, us an amp up 2very limited extent ofcourse bcuz we rule in thmidst of our enemies. If any Plasticine out there wants 2know which amp it is? let me know?? (a cold deadly silence) Still, "Blessed is thsound of crickets." My Jap Wolf selling 4up 2 5k ebay now. Yea I thought why not I would go ahead buy me that amp go ahead start p>)laying again.)
