Extra springs is a good idea.

Here's a shot of my hardwood block, the original electronics, and upgraded ones.
Thanks for those pics, looks great.

Those are some decent pots you got there, at least the size is a bit more chunky. Can't stand the little fragile pots.

I went with spring as I play my Pacifica without backplate for more resonance, don't ask me, got it from a tip video from Eric Johnson.
It also looks a bit cleaner, then a piece of ply sticking in the back lol


PS

Blocking the trem does also increase tuning stability a lot
