Whammy bar

[some_guy]

I have this peavey strat copy, and since I already have a nice electric, I don't mind messing with it. I just was wondering where I would go to get a whammy bar installed for it, because the trem bar is kinda useless for me and I'm afraid I'll break the strings when I try and bend it far. Thanks.

ouh yeah is there a difference between whammy bar and trem arm??
never knew it...

Well to me a trem bar is the one on the strat that doesnt bend far, and a whammy bar is like a floyd rose.. but i guess those are called floyd rose double-locking trem or whatever but i just like to differentiate by calling them whammy bars http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/smile.gif

ouh cool.. i know what you mean...
those on strats are quite break-able
i'm afraid i will do what richie blackmore had done: he broke all his trem arms, so a man who repaired his guitar put a metal stick that was unbreakable , as it seemed instead of the arm... and he told blackmore that if he would brake it, he wont fix it anymore... so richie played about one week with it , till it broke up http://www.guitarforums.com/gtubb/smile.gif
