Our pre-CBS vintage tremolo springs

With our Pre-CBS Vintage Tremolo Springs, we've created vintage-accurate replicas of the old Fender originals that are perfect not only in appearance but, above all, in sound. In addition to the correct spring steel and nickel plating, the vintage-correct 1.3 mm wire diameter ensures smooth tension and a soft sound from the tremolo springs. Our springs are never spongy!

We are the only manufacturer in the world to offer its vintage tremolo springs in various versions. We are particularly proud that our vintage tremolo springs not only look and feel like the originals , but that they sound like them too! We make this possible by offering our vintage tremolo springs cryogenically treated. The cryogenic process ages the tremolo springs at the molecular level , creating a sound like tremolo springs that have been used for over 60 years .

However, this also solved the problem of stress relaxation. Old tremolo springs lose their tension over the decades. Thanks to Cryo Tuning, our springs have virtually no stress relaxation, meaning our tremolo springs retain their tension even after many years .

Thanks to Cryo Tuning, all tremolo springs behave identically in terms of sound and tension .

A review by Udo Pipper about our Silverback Vintage Pre-CBS Vintage Tremolo Springs

We received the following review from vintage legend Udo Pipper:

Guitar Monkey vs. Crazy Parts vs. 61 Vintage vs. Raw Vintage

You could forget about the Raw Vintage. They were no good. Just too spongy with a floating tremolo.

The crazy parts were very good, if a little hard. The '61 vintage springs were surprisingly soft. You needed five compared to three from Guitar Monkey. The sound isn't quite right for a Custom Shop Strat, because it's a little too soft here too. They support that "chirpy" Strat sound á la Knopfler, which I don't like so much.

Finally, it was the turn of the Guitar Monkeys. And they were actually the best. The best balance between “crunch” and sustain. That was very convincing.

So: Your springs stay in the test guitar!

Great product. I will be using these springs for all revisions from now on.

5 good reasons for our Silverback Vintage Pre-CBS tremolo springs

Vintage correct materials

In addition to the correct spring steel and nickel plating, the vintage-correct 1.3 mm wire diameter ensures smooth tension and a soft , full sound from the tremolo springs. However, our springs are never spongy!

Cryo tuned

Through the cryo-tuning process, we achieve molecular aging of the tremolo springs, producing a sound like tremolo springs that have been worn in for over 60 years. Stress relaxation also eliminates them, meaning our tremolo springs retain their tension even after many years . Thanks to cryo-tuning, each individual tremolo spring is identical in both sound and tension .
