Hey, could you maybe help me with a problem? I bought a Majesty and would like to make the whammy bar a little firmer. She's way too lax. The seller said there is a screw in the back, but it only holds the whammy bar in place so it doesn't come out. I've searched everything and I can't find anything... Do you have any idea how to get it to stop being so loose? Thanks
Hi, the seller was correct. That small screw under the base of the tremolo sole purpose is to increase or decrease tension of the bar. So if you want it tight, you screw it right in till you can't turn it anymore. If you want it to spin around then loosen it so it's not even touching the bar anymore. If you loosen it where it's not touching the bar anymore you can then pull the bar out, you'll see that there's an indentation at the bottom where a pin in the base is what's actually holding it in. **That screw is for tension purposes only not to keep the bar in! ** Please consider subscribing if I helped you!
@@ClarkGuitar That's strange because I turned the screw so tight until it wouldn't work anymore. yet the bar continued to move. That's exactly what surprised me. The only thing that happened was that you couldn't pull the bar out anymore. I'd be happy to leave a subscription. thanks for the support.
@@SensejWowa My next suggestion would be bring it to your nearest guitar store and have a luthier take a look at that because this doesn't sound normal. Maybe you stripped the screw? (Or it was already stripped?) Hard to be diagnosed without a picture. Wouldn't cost much more than a string change.
