  • I had to HARDTAIL this Squier Contemporary Stratocaster Tremolo bridge.
    In this essential guitar maintenance video I show you how to hardtail a Squier or Fender Stratocaster Tremolo Bridge, there are other ways to do this but this is the way I find works well for me.
    Let me know your thoughts in the comment section!

    I cut a wedge shaped piece of wood and jammed it tight behind the trem block on mine and screwed the plate down tight on the front, the natural sustain has improved massively, i never liked trems anyway. BTW, i left the springs in so it was still earthed.

      Yeah Robbie Robertson had his strats special made with his 2 single coils at the bridge wired up like a humbucker just like in the guitar Rob is playing and setting up through the video !

      It's such a cool setup I love it!

      Rob you ever played a fender lead or lead II? Saw a video on those recently looked real nice.

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I haven't played the modern versions but I did have an early 80s one many moons ago. Very cool guitars indeed 👌

    I have the pearl white hard tail version. I put Gotoh tuners on it with white pearl tips, a Gotoh bridge and put a Duncan p-rail pup with a mini toggle switch. Love this guitar!

    • @theguitarmanifesto

      Ooh nice 👌 great set of mods too, I love the neck on them 😎🎸

    • @michaelbartholomew8155
      @michaelbartholomew8155 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@theguitarmanifestoyeah the neck is solid and fast. The roasted maple was a nice touch. Btw the color of yours is different than the ones I've seen with the tremolo. I've only seen the black and sky blue metallic. Where did you get yours?

    I wasn't expecting to see you talking about guitars, Ended up following the Meat manifesto as i've a T6 then boom, here you are on my feed talking about my other love...GUITARS!

    Meat, so happy to see you getting more awesome guitars. I LOVE Squiers. I just got a 2024 Squier Sonic Strat with black body, pick guard and pickups. Reminds me of David Gilmour. The thing plays better than the Fender standard, Player Strat and Squier Classic Vibe. Zero sharp frets, no dead frets and just plays so smoothly. I prefer a non lacquered neck.

      Good to be back 😁 Ooh nice good out of the box QC too 👌 I'll start going through the Sonic series soon, I reviewed the sonic mustang
      a few videos back. Thanks for dropping by 😎🎸

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I'm in love with this guitar at the moment 👌 It needs black pickup cover and knobs

    • @theguitarmanifesto

      Dude it's an awesome guitar! love the neck 👌

      @slawaschwed 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      ​@@theguitarmanifesto One thing, though, there is no borders on the fretboard, it's all in one color. It tricked my eyes, I thought, this neck is huge! Still getting used to it

    What an awesome guitar!! Yes-5 springs!! I like how the jack is on the side and recessed. Plus a nice test drive!! I'm probably forgetting to mention something else! 😹

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It sure is a nice guitar and plays even better now!

    Greetings from Motown Rob. Nice to see you back at the music stuff. I was getting into your stealth camping videos. Something about eating out of a can, having a beer, and ruffing it is fun!! Hope you still do some more of those runs in the future.
    Hey, is this your new studio in the shell of a bird house that it used to be?? I remember you moving. ✌

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Hey there, yes it's been a while, I will get back in the camping soon.
      No this is the workshop the other place is the grey man cave on my recent videos

    Oh man I been wanting to try one of those....I think I could really lean into a strat like that!

    • @theguitarmanifesto

      Awesome guitar has a grunge offset vibe to it 👌

    That's a very cool looking guitar, I used a tremblock and set it into the body, when I did mine years ago. Miss that guitar

    Got a killer deal on that one. Not sure I love those single coils dirty but clean they sound gooder. Is that a word ;-) Cheers!

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      The shite workshop amp don't help matters 🤣 they have almost a P90 style sound to them. Better is the word 😁

    • @simongummer4515
      @simongummer4515 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That will be the line 6 spider and I'm sure Rob will agree. Id bet them pickups will sound very decent through a better amp

    I have the HH floyd version. great guitar but i wish i had bought the hardtail one

  • @RolandDelacroix

    They literally make this exact guitar (diff colors) in a factory hardtail version.

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      No shit 🤣

    • @RolandDelacroix
      @RolandDelacroix 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The implication being, you could just flip that one and get the hardtail version. Appreciate all your videos tho, thanks.
