Anyone had this problem? Exactly the same here... vintage tremolo. I guess it's from strings going thru the bridge holes... but dunno if it can be fixed. I'm a newbie. Anyway... you are not alone!

However, it went away with time. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman.

Make sure the sound isn't coming from the head stock area... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
