My whammy bar broke while I was playing my guitar and part of the whammy bar is deep in the bridge. I went to the closest guitar dealer to get it fixed and they couldn't get the piece out and I had to get a new bridge.

A machine shop would have removed it with an easy-out for about ten bucks.

Another reason to like Mustangs--this wouldn't have been such a big deal.
cherokee747 is right though.

I may be too late to help, but they sell a drill bit thats used to remove screws that have the heads broken off, or that are too stripped. It will drill a smaller thread into the broken part, then you put another tip on that has that thread, and reverse the drill, and out it comes. Dont know what its called, but I saw it in Home Depot. FYI there is ALWAYS a way!!
