Hey folks,

I just picked up a 2005 American Deluxe Strat used. It didn't come with the owner's manual so I checked out the one from Fender.com and it doesn't cover this issue. I know this may sound real dumb but here goes.

How does the "pop in" tremelo arm release from the bridge/tremelo? I've spun it around, pushed and pulled and mine seems stuck in there. It works fine and all but I'd like to pop it out to make some adjustments and be able to pop it back in. How does one do that?

Never mind. I just yanked hard enough and it came out.

For future reference, if you lift the bridge, there should be a screw under it, close to the hi Estring. This holds the bar (firmly or not, you decide) in the hole.

Kinda like the old Mustang...
