Hello fellow guitarists!
I have a Squier Fat Strat  And I have long had a problem with my whammy leaning too much forward, touching the volume knobs and also the strings  I tried to keep the whammy at place while tuning the guitar but it just leaned forward again getting out of tune, then when I tune the strings again i have to tune them 3-4 times to get it right because as I tune one string, another one goes out of tune etc.. And of course, the whammy is leaning way too much forward when it's in tune again  I checked out this topic(even tho i dont have a floyd rose), but it didn't help much. Anyone who can help me solve this problem? Oh, by the way if you need picture i can upload as soon as i find the cable to my camera  Cheers, Raiz!
