Look at the top of the web page. There is a section called, "Support." Look in the section that says, "Set up guide." It will help you set up the trem. Also your Strat should have come with an owner's manual. It will have the same information.

1+ When all else fails check the manual.... Yep, we're (mostly) a bunch of guys on here who never stop to read or ask for directions...

I have just recently tried the Dan Erlewine setup of the two point bridge with great result.You setup the trem like a Floyd or Prs basically.Set the pivot screws so trem floats 1/16 parallel to the body.After that i loosened the springs abit so I have a minor third pull-up on the g string.After years of setting up this bridge with the plate flat to the body I always noticed the saddles sat high.With Erlewine's method the saddles are lower and in my opinion keeps the tuning better.I always set my string height at 2mm at 12th fret for all strings.

Have just had a pro setup on a 2-point Strat: I would usually set it up like the 6-point, but he set the 2 screws higher, so that the whole baseplate is a good 1/64" to 1/32" off the body. Back of baseplate is about 1/8" off, giving me the upbend I want.

He's a brilliant tech/luthier; I've never had Strats with such a low buzz-free action! So I conclude he knows what he's doing! Hope that helps.

Cheers - Peter.
