I feel that it takes some time to know how to use one effectively. A lot of players that I've seen only use it with feedback. I have several of them in different shapes, sizes and material. Try some "behind-the-nut" bends and then try to simulate them with the bar. I like 'em.

I can honestly say I probably have only had my whammy in my MIA Strat about 4 times in 7 years. Pesonally, I just grab the bridge and shake it if I need it to go "wha wha wherrrr".

Probably more for this reason, bought my Strat brand new and the whammy that came with it is not bent enough. For example, if you're strumming/picking with your right hand you can't even get a hold of it without letting go completely of the guitar and having to reach out several inches into space to grab it. You can't pick the strings and hold on to the whammy at the same time - it sits WAY too far off the guitar...the Fender Bender must've been having a bad day and not bent mine far enough to make it close to the guitar when installed.
