The newer Axis have it. Not sure when EBMM added this strip. My newer ones have it. Get in touch with customer service. They might be able to get you some.

Also, how many springs are attached to the bridge. If there are 3, you might want to go to 2 and readjust the guitar. Based on your playing style you might find the bridge not snapping back as bad with the 2 springs.

Its a 2000 model and its got a silver plate that runs along the bottom of the trem.

I checked the springs and its got two , the tension i'm happy with so if i can alter things without adding a spring that would be ideal.

Can I just go back to this post for some more advice from you guys.

How many springs are standard on the Axis?
Mine is set up with two , only spare i have is from my Luke .
The bridge is moving when I’m heavy bending the strings, is there an adjustment I can make to stop the trem moving and making a noise.

I have 3 springs in mine and the bridge doesn't move when I bend, with 2 it did, but with 2 it was floating, and that's what floating trems dO!

Go for 3 or take it to a dealer and get a pro-setup well worth it...

Thanks the reply.

Got the two springs but I’ve screwed the claw in so it’s flush.

I’ve tried the Luke trem spring but it way to tight, they must be all different .

Be thankful for it, it's noy a cluck, it's a precision click!!!

It let's you know exactly where the set up is at all times, simply by letting you "feel" the click!!!

Gotta have the click!!!

That's one way of looking at it.
