Problems with my Esp M-II
springs do resonate, so in short they are performing correctly. Do you want to hear that all the time, especially during expensive studio time? Hell no. Do as suggested and put some foam under them. That should calm down if not stifle the noise altogether. It's the same reason some people have foam under the strings behind the nut on their headstock &/or again underneath the strings just behind the bridge & inbetween the tail piece on les paul style guitars. QUIET the things that displease you & affect the purity of your sound. In this case simple foam is the cure. Thank God its cheap, eh? lol
Thanks for the answers, but such an expensive guitar should not have this kind of "failure" I'm going to try with foam, but...... I love the guitar and I'm thinking about buying an Eclipse II. Black With yellow/gold rim. Sweet.
This isn't a "failure". It is normal to be that way on "expensive" guitars as they pick the best woods that make the guitar resonate more for better tone. Sometimes even cheaper guitars tend to resonate that way too. You pick up any other floyded $3000 dollar guitar and it would be the same way.
Dealing with unwanted noise from your Floyd Rose-equipped guitar's springs during palm muting is common. A quick fix involves dampening the springs with foam or a similar material to absorb vibrations, reducing noise without impacting tremolo function. Adjusting spring tension may also help, as too loose springs vibrate more. Ensure all parts are tight, as loose components can contribute to the noise. Consider upgrading to higher quality, noiseless springs for a quieter operation. If problems persist, a professional setup might identify and fix any underlying issues, optimizing your guitar for studio use. Experiment to find the best solution for your M-II, aiming for a noise-free recording experience.
nothing, they are supposed to do that, put some foam or tissues or something between the springs and the body and it'll go away
