mystery of the Jaguar mute spring....
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2007 7:31 pm
Having installed mutes in muteless Jaguars (and Jazzmasters) I've been pleased by the availability of mute parts, with the mysterious exception of the mute spring. Why, if all the other parts are available, would the mute spring be withheld from the aftermarket? It struck me that MAYBE they are available but called something else. With that in mind I ordered a "Fender intonation spring for Tele and basses" from guitar-parts.com. (http://www.guitar-parts.com/content/est ... oduct=1133)
I'm pretty sure this is the same spring as used in the Jaguar mute. It's the right length (1") and it fits in the spare mute plunger I've got. I haven't taken apart my AVRI Jaguar to confirm it's the same, but it would definitely work.
Hope it helps.
