Wang bar wobble

[Spudman]

I own several Strats from various countries and it seems every tremolo bar that screws in wobbles. It's always bugged me because it isn't a problem I have with any of the locking tremolo bars.

Tonight I unscrewed the trem bar on my Squier Deluxe Strat and took a few wraps of Teflon tape around the threads at the end of the bar and then threaded it back into the bridge. PERFECT! Worked like a charm. I don't know why I never thought of this before. I guess I was always looking for some more magical fix or something.

now if you had said "duct tape" instead of "Teflon tape", I would be impressed ;)

Plumber's tape fixes it nicely. Or you can buy a packet of these (http://cgi.ebay.com/FENDER-TREMOLO-ARM-SPRINGS-12-NEW_W0QQitemZ220423284603QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar _Accessories?hash=item335240677b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1205%7C 240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50). You'll need to buy he whole pack 'cos you'll lose them.

Indeed, just offering a synonym before the "what is teflon tape?" questions started ;) ;) ;)
