Does anyone know where I can find genuine fender american intonation springs? I cut some of my springs when I used a heavier gauge and now some are loose. It's so hard to find them. Does anyone know the model number or some online store? Thanks

Reporting back.

I got my intonation springs and screws as suggested above. I have to say the springs are important. My saddle no longer collapse as it did with my older springs when they lose tension. My new springs keep my saddle at 90 degrees upright position and intonation was easily set.

Glad to help you out. That is what the forum is all about, passing on information to help out other guitar players! I have learned so much here and I have been playing Fenders for 40+ years!

BTW Schweet looking guitar!

If you haven't already done so, you might consider assembling a small "Strat survival kit" consisting of a few small but vital parts such as screws, springs, a spare trem arm, the wrenches for adjusting the bridge and truss rod, etc. Such an assortment will prevent your instrument from being dead-lined at a critical moment when there's no time to stop at a guitar store or wait for delivery of parts purchased online. Keep the kit in the Strat's case, along with a spare set of strings.
