I’ll agree with you so that both of us are wrong.
For those of you who have (successfully) blocked a tremolo on one of your guitars, what advice would to give in regards to the best process to follow for me to use on my strat? I have done some googling (is that even a word?) on the subject and found a handful of different approaches. Some use a block of wood. Some add springs and tighten the screws. There is the $2.70 method where you put 5 half dollars where the block of wood would go and 2 dimes in the front side. I’m sure there are other options and combinations to use also. Everyone seems to say that this is a fairly simple process and it does seem to be, but unlike a lot of you guys and gals here, I do not get enjoyment from tinkering with my equipment...I mean my guitars. I have read a few other posts here that ended up being a discussion of whether or not it was even acceptable to the guitar gods for one to block the tremolo on a strat. I am not here to start that discussion. I never use the whammy bar and get quite annoyed when doing a string bend and having other played but not bent strings go out of tune. Also...are there any other adjustments / setup that will need to be made after the trem is blocked? Thanks in advance.
