I'll admit it, I watch Bitney's videos! I mute the sound because the sound she makes when she opens her mouth scares my cats, but I will watch...

Sure, now that trem can go up and down. Now does anybody have a way to keep it from throwing the whole guitar (or most of it) out of tune? Ahhhhh, I guess not. Such is life with a Strat.

Yeah, I took the trem bar off both my strats, put on all five springs so the bridge would sit flush against the body. Just the way I like it, and tuning stability soars through the "stratosphere"......I crack myself up!

It really shouldn't throw the guitar out of tune. I used to beat the hell out of the bar and rarely had tuning problems. There might be a technique issue here - if all you're doing is a divebomb w/o a compensatory 'shake' of the bar, it could happen.

I guess I should have been more clear ... How do you treat a Strat trem like a Floyd Rose and still have it stay in tune! But really, I don't know many who who abuse the trem like that anymore, so it's not really an issue. (Unless you're in a glam metal cover band) If I treat my Strat trem nice and use it like it was intended, it stays in tune just fine.
