Okay everytime I need to use the whammy bar for a dive bomb, or just for a wide vibrato or hamronic dive bombs or reverse harmonic dive bombs; I have to push down on the damn thing very, very hard. Even just for a small vibrato. I have to push pretty hard on it.

Could it be that the springs are to tight and if so how do I adjsut the spusension of them.

Anything would be a great help.

What kind of guitar?

Stratocaster setup guide here:

http://www.fender.com/support/stratocas ... _guide.php

Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge (copied and pasted from the "Support" section of this website): This is a simple adjustment. Slide the tremolo lock button back into the "locked" position. Tune the guitar (if you use an alternative tuning, you'll need to use it for this process). Slide the tremolo lock button into the "unlocked" position. Using the tremolo tension adjustment screw, tighten or loosen the screw to return the tuning back to pitch. The end result should be that whether the tremolo lock button is locked or unlocked, the tuning remains constant.

I bigger help would be if you let us know what kind of guitar you are talking about.
