Ive got a cheap old squier strat that I want to have 'modded' so I can play jeff beck stuff like on your DVD's but I can't get the tremolo right. I tried to do it myself by loostening
the screws round the back but that meant that pushing down was very difficult, there was a MASSIVE gap between the bridge and the body which I'm sure is not right and I've tried doing things like doing vibrato by hitting the bridge with my palm or making that gargling sound you do by pulling up and then letting go (at least I think you do that) but neither works. I've also taken off the middle spring to supposedly make it easier. any tips or help. By the way what tremolo and nut is that and have you done something to the body? Love your DVDS
thanks

g really. In the late 80s , early 90s.. i was signed to a major label in the states...a nd heard about the "new" custom shop dept starting up at fender. My people spoke to their people... and the next thing u know, it was mine. If you think about it... once this guitar did the 91 namm trade show... and was handled and played by the puplic... they couldnt really sell it as a new guitar any more, could they. I did them a favour ,and took it of their hands!!!!! !!!!
