strat style tremolo too stiff

twangbangin - 25 Dec 2005 16:00:03

Hi All,
I mentioned this in an earlier post but it was kind of buried so I
thought I'd ask more directly. My 2nd guitar is a vista jagmaster with
S.D. JM pickups which sound great. My problem is that with 13's on the
thing, the tension on the tremolo is really stiff to compensate for the
thick strings. I'm used to the silky smooth tremolo on my AV Jaguar.
Is this a result of poor set up ( I needed 5 springs just to get it to
within 1/8" of flat) or a low quality bridge? Or some other reason -
neck angle perhaps? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Danny Snyder
