I've got a 2009 American Deluxe Ash Strat, and I've been having problems with the trem arm. If I put it all the way in, it kinda gets stuck. It requires two hands and a lot of force and effort to pull it out. I can put it in halfway, and it still works without getting stuck, but it falls out after moving it around a little.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well you definitely picked a username to get noticed as far as I'm concerned. :lol:

Simple really. If you tilt the trem forwards, all the way as if you were aiming to get the strings to pitch as low as possibel. If you look on the tremblock there should be two grubscrews with allen key fitting holes.
One of those determines how easy/hard it is to install or remove the trem arm. I think it's the one nearer the bottom of the trem block. Could be wrong, it's ages since I've done it.
The other grubscrew determines how easy it is for the arm to turn when it is fitted. The top one if memory serves.

Hope that helps.
