Hey gentlemen!

I'd like to change the bridge on my Mexican Strat from tremolo to fixed. I don't use the whammy bar and I'd like to change that.

Is there anyway I can fix the tremolo one? Or only buying a fixed bridge to replace?

Thanks for the tips!

hi , you can deck the trem unit but taking the rear cover off and tightening the 2 screws on the trem claw till the rear of the bridge is sitting on the top of guitar , hth , cheers

You won't damage a thing. There is no danger of damaging anything.

Remove the rear cover. Find the 2 screws that attach the spring claw to the guitar. There should be at least a half inch of screw showing between the claw and the wood. Tighten the screws alternating back and forth. One turn, switch, one turn, switch until the bridge is flat to the body. Replace the rear cover. Or don't replace it. Whatever you wish. Done. A Philips screwdriver and about 5 minutes is all it takes.
