The Perfect Stratocaster Trem / Vibrato Setup [Floating, Flat Or Blocked?]

Six-saddle and two-post Fender Stratocaster vibratos - here are three ways to get them working as you want Welcome to the show! Something a bit different this week as Dan and I ease into a little bit of summer vacation time. A different headspace, if you will. Now then, I know this has been done to death online but we still get asked for it a lot: just how do you get your traditional Fender Stratocaster vibrato to work (or not work) and stay in tune? Thusly, this is a personal take on how to approach it, gleaned from years of learning from professional players and techs. It’s highly unlikely there’s any new information here, but I’m taking it slow and doing it in real time so you can see exactly what happens with every adjustment of spring, screw and post. These methods work for me, I hope they help you and your guitar!
