Synth Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I have a Squire Strat. With a standard trem bridge. I'm learning a song that has lots and lots of bends, but when ever I do them on the high E and b strings, they go out of tune. How can I fix this?

Legion303 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 My advice to people with non-locking tremelos who don't like being out of tune is to remove the panel over the springs on the tremelo and tighten those springs down all the way, or even replace them with stronger ones. You won't be able to do whammy bar dives as easily, but you won't be out of tune as often or as badly either. -steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixto Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 New strings? Stretch them out by pulling on them really hard. Tune and repeat until it stays in tune. Also do the spring thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kcirtap1990 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 My friend with a Squire Bullet has the same problem. My guess is that the standard Squire Bridge isn't very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synth Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I always stretch my stings when I put new ones on. The sping thing worked, thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
