extra springs with cutlass

Not technically a hard tail - but the extra springs could be useful if you wanted to increase the tension on the trem system, or to accommodate the extra tension of heavier gauge strings.
Thanks. I think I'm more of a hard tail type player so like how the trem sits on the cutlass, compared to something like the typical strat trem. it seems pretty solid with the default configuration. I might put in heavier strings though down the line, or just keep it as a light player how it came from the factory. Makes for a great lead guitar. I have a MIM strat that I think I'm going to setup for rhythm, so heavier gauge and wound 3rd. So I can have the best of both worlds when it comes to the strat sound.
