Hi guys, i just got my american pro strat delivered. I started playing a bit, put in the tremelo arm, but now i can't seem to get the tremelo arm out. It also makes a cracking noise when i turn the arm a bit. What can i do?

Is it a push in tremolo or screw in ?

Push in , like my American Standard, You have to hold bridge with one hand and pull arm with "strong" force

Ain't the first time 'new guitar, pop-in trem arm, problems' is discussed on this & other forums... :lol:

Here's an insight view of the trem: Stratcat.biz pop-in so you get a general idea on how the system works (and can check that retainer clip).
If the mechanics are OK, it's just that the trem arm is tight on a new guitar. Re that; has the guitar been set up by a pro..? (IMHO, by now, they should know this issue and check it on the initial setup...)

Hi all, thanks for your replies (and sorry for my late reply), I had to pull really really hard and got it out eventually. Now it's way easier to pull it out! Cheers
