On my 60th Anniversary Strat, the bridge was not lined up properly with the pre-drilled hole for the tremolo arm. When inserting the arm, it goes in cock-eyed and will not rotate freely. It's driving me nuts!!! Any advice would be very much appreciated.

If you feel safe doing it, remove the bridge from the guitar by removing the strings and the springs in the back and then lifting it out. Remove each of the six saddles, and make sure you know which one goes where and with what screw. They are of different lengths. You will then see two large Phillip's Head screws. Loosen these a little, and you'll be able to line up the tremolo hole better. Then tighten the same screws and reassemble your guitar.
