I have a new fender strat and i have a case/bag to go with it. I have a removable whammy and i was wondering if i could put the guitar in the bag with the whammy bar still attached. It will not be a problem if i have to take it off every time, but it gets irritating. Thx :D

When I put my Strat in it's gig bag, I remove the arm - I think it would be too easy to snap it off or do some other damage to the guitar.

Just my 2 cents :shock:

i used to have a strat a long time ago, and whenever i carried it around, i always took the trem arm off. It gets a little tiresome, but it always seems like the time was well spent instead of keeping it on there and letting the guitar mess up by some weight getting on the trem arm and setting off the action or anything else that might mess up.

Definitely take the arm off before putting it into a case or gig bag, otherwise you risk damaging the trem arm (yes, they can bend and break with enough force) or messing up something on your guitar with the trem being pulled down for an extended period of time.
