Would this be solved by installing the third spring ?

thanks for your feedback. It seems that you have a different opinion than ieso and Miles Smiles, let alone all the people making trem stabilisers,
about the stability of DF bridges.
I'm afraid I'm gonna waste some time this weekend trying to find out the truth about the springs, the tension and the bendings. I'll let you know ...

Ledergeist wrote:Yep. looks like I was not sure exactly what was meant originally. I am seeing a little bridge deflection while doing some major string-bending on the fretboard now. Never really paid much attention to looking for that. Since the note is being bent anyway, I wouldn't think it effects performance too much. If it stays in tune, it's all good.
Side Note:
I don't have a pic handy, but G&L did use a little device that screwed in below the bridge that you could turn and keep the trem from moving. Maybe someone here has a geet with one of those?
Happy Bendings.....

9.
3 on the trem block, and one on each saddle screw.
