I have done a few with springs, I really like the sound. Especially if you are doing acoustic only. The tuna can tricone I took it one step further, each can has a spring in it. Haha Looking forward to having the tricone finished and hearing how it sounds.
At the local hardware store. Or your grand dad's screen door. It's just a piece of screen door spring cut and stretched (tension) between a couple eye screws. Interior bracing recommended. ; )
The spring vibrates for a reverb/sustain type effect. Combined with a fairly stout string attack and volume swells you can create some neat "ghostly" tones.

So, where does a person find such springs? I wanna try that.
