Lock down the vibrator with a bit of wood behind it and keep the springs in. It's part of the Strats character.

+1, I much prefer how my Strat sounds like that, it sounded kinda dead without the springs.

Yes. Always leave the springs in there.

In fact, expand the cavity and put longer springs in

Serious mo, filling the cavity is not worth it at all, it's a ton of work to do it right, and anything even a step short of doing it right really doesn't hold up.

My mind is a bit Slanted and Enchanted. I always write vibrator instead of vibrato.

LOVE IT. Very funny. Gas station makes it funny.
I propose we always call it a vibrator now. It's accurate. Don't do weird mods to bods. If you want something drastically different, get something else. Strats are designed to functiona a certain way. I loved my vibrator. Mine was a Squier and it rockededed.

Icey doesn't like cheap slave labour vibrators. He only buys quality made American ones from California.
If I had the means I would seriously expand the size of the cavity so I coulds put longer springs in. I'm sure it would make the strat sound more interesting.
