American Standard Strat Trem

epiphonecasino2001 - 27 Aug 2003 15:09:49

Hey All-
I've got an American Standard Strat which I recently set the trem arm
on. What I did was put 5 springs on it and unscrewed the claw that
holds the springs to the body a bit, so I could pull up on the trem(I
had it set previously so I could only push down on it)So right now I
can pull up on the trem and it bends the note exactly 1/2 step.
What my problem is, is that everytime my palm touches the bridge it
moves which is bad because it gives everything I play a tremelo
sound. Now is this common? Being that I'm used to tightned up
against the body it feels awfully different.
Or should I just adjust my playing to this?
