[TJontheRoad]

I voted for "Noiseless Sorings".

Thanks for the tip. I ordered a red set for my Strat Plus Deluxe.

High volume and high gain leads me to ask, "How are you hearing the springs?"

when muting the strings, the springs continue to sing.

Did you consider getting the big brass sustain block from them, as well ?

I looked at them, but didn't want to go that far down the rabbit hole with this guitar.

OTOH, their FU guitars have all the mods installed as stock and are reasonably priced. I might take a deeper look at those.

My Kiesel Delos has some strips of "felt" or something on the inside of the springs...

None of my many other floating trem has anything other than standard springs.

They seem like nice guitars..

My first Strat had terrible spring noise. Almost sounded like reverb. I stuck a strip of cardboard in each spring. Fixed it right up.

I used the soft foam from a box a pickup came in that I cut and slid under the springs of one of my guitars a while back. it worked good

I simply stick small pieces of foam in the cavity with the springs. Instantly fixes the problem.

Foam has always worked fine for me without any negative side effects, but I bought some of those noiseless springs from Harley Benton for my two main guitars last year, just excellent.

I noticed it when we were doing "The Pretender" in the cover band, I was doing the rhythm 'ja-junk ja ja ja junk" part, it was more like 'ja-junkeeee ja ja ja junkeeeee" loud enough that I was rolling my volume down immediately after every 'junk'

I ordered a set of "noiseless" springs from Amazon for $8 and for good measure inserted about a 3" length of 1/4" wide elastic band (doubled over).

Problem solved.

Thanks to everyone that responded!
