Hi all
I recently became the owner of a 66 MkV - it's a lovely guitar but I'm wondering if the tremolo spring is the correct spec. It seems to leave the arm very close to the tone/volume controls and hard to quickly grab at when playing.
Does anyone have the specs for the factory trem spring so I can compare?
I will change it out either way for a slightly taller spring to give me a bit more height and ease but it'd be nice to know what it would have come with in 1966.

Re: Tremolo spring spec
You might check with Bob Shade of Hallmark Guitars. He may be able to sell you a compatible spring.

Re: Tremolo spring spec
Suggest checking with a shop that makes or sells springs, they may have a spring tester machine, and could measure the spring force.
