View Full Version : Problems(?) with guitar

I have new Squier Stratocaster Standard.
Big screws on the back of the guitar, in the tremolo cavity, are little weird (picture 1), not parallel (picture 2).
I checked out with original Fender Stratocaster and it's like on picture 2.
Though tremolo works just fine.
Is this normal?
If anyone has Squier Stratocaster, please check out and tell me.

If I understand your diagram correctly, your tremolo has two springs, set at an angle instead of being straight. This is a common set-up. It changes the apparent strength of the springs slightly, to tailor the 'feel' of the tremolo action. If you are satisfied with the operation of the tremolo, enjoy it!

Springs are OK (there are 3 or them) and they are parallel.
Screws are not. That diagram was for those big screws holding springs from the neck direction.

That's OK. With the screws at an angle, you should have more precise control over the spring tension. Those screws are very strong. They are not likely to get bent by the tension on the springs. No problem; no worries. Enjoy!

Thank you very much :D
I really got worried about it.
I bought that guitar a few months ago.
It's great in every way (tuners, pickups, sound), but not long ago, when I replaced strings, I saw that.
Thank you, I really appreciate that
