Hey, i'm looking for some help...

Just got the new standard stratocaster and I'm changing the strings for the first time to D'addario EXL 110s.

The floating tremolo is completely messing me up, considering I haven't used one of these before. How do you keep the tremolo/bridge in its standard position (I think fender said 1/8th of an inch) when changing the strings?


Thanks a lot

You can try changing out one string at a time.

Yeah that's what I am doing... the tuning gets all crazy though... so say I tune my low E... all the other strings go out of tune.

Keep stretching and tuning, it'll come around.

oh nevermind I figured it out. Turns out I use a higher gauge so I had to tighten the tremolo...
