Tremolo Spring
Posted July 25, 2008
By admin
Are there supposed to be 5 tremolo springs inside of an electric guitar?
I bought an Ibanez RG120 off of Craigslist and went to change the strings, and inside there looks like there is a spring missing, the middle tremolo spring is gone.
There are only 4 springs on it, 2 on the left, and 2 on the right. Is this bad? Should I buy another spring and replace it?
It should be O.K.
If you try to tune your guitar and when your done, the lower strings have to be tuned again because they drop in pitch, and it won't tune up at all, then you will have to add another spring.
If the guitar tunes up O.K. (which is likely) 4 springs are fine. I wouldn't recommend taking any off.
