They're part of the tremolo unit. They pull the bridge back to its original position when you release the whammy bar.

oh.
I thought they cushioned my head when I fell asleep on it. :shock:

....or in my Strat's case, a feeble attempt to do as you mention. :(

Fine. That being said, why do you have an option of putting fewer or more springs in?

More or less tension....depending whether you add one or take one out. You can also adjust the tension of the existing springs too.

It depends on how feeble you want the attempt to be. :lol: :lol:
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

Hmmm.
So if I put more springs in, will it increase string tention?
Or will the bridge just snap back into place more quickly?

I'm not entirely sure, I'm afraid. I think I have an extra spring. Now I'm curious and might have to experiment.

it'll just pull it back into place more quickly and make it harder to pull the whammy bar.
they're designed to pull the mechanism back to flat. it doesn't play against string tension, or else it would be impossible to change strings.
