Take your guitar back to the store and tell them that they screwed it up and therefore should set it up right 4 free! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

You can try adjusting it yourself, but since they messed up they should be held responsible. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

If not, take it back and demand that they take a look at it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Try to take your guitar for setup with some well known luthier. Ask around and see who does the job best. These kind of information travel fast among musicians. Also you can try to adjust your guitar a bit yourself. You have basically 3 points for adjustment: 1. Truss Rod 2. Bridge Saddles 3. Spring Screws They should all be kept in balance in relation to each other Personally, I like my whole tremolo on my strat to be completely down to the body, and tightened securely so I can pull off one and a half step bends, or double stops with bends without pitch shifting on me. My tremolo arm can work only downwards this way but it's not that big of a problem really. I don't use it a lot anyway cause it detunes the strings. When turning the truss rod, you gotta watch out so you have a proper neck relief. Neck should be bowed slightly in order for strings to have some space for ringing. The order of doing adjustments is roughly this: 1. Adjust the tremolo springs tension 2. Adjust the height of the bridge saddles 3. Adjust the Truss Rod 4. Repeat the process until you find a good balance Some buzzing is not a big problem if the strings don't loose sustain. IN general no buzzing is heard on the amp, so don't worry about it too much.
