Hi all,
I'd like to "tighten" the DF vibrato. Right now it's extremely sensitive and I'd like to need to push it a little bit harder, not sure if I'm making myself clear. Maybe adding more springs?
Thanks!

Re: Tightening the feel of the DF vibrato
Either adding more springs or use heavier gauge springs will tighten up the trem action. If you want to add more than three springs, you will need to replace the stock spring clawnachoharriague wrote:Hi all,

with an aftermarket replacement, such as from All-Parts or other guitar parts suppliers.
Hope this helps.

I ended up using 5 springs, works like a charm
