Hi,
Perhaps your trem arm is set a bit too loose now. I remember I had the
same problem with an Ibanez I used to play.
I tightened the claw a bit more, which did it. It is normal that you
have to bend the strat arm with a bit more power then let's say a Bigsby
or Jaguar/Jazmaster floating tremolo. It will be difficult adjusting the
way you play, since you need to mute the strings, so you need to put
your hand there, however it's not necessary to use force while doing
that (IMHO)
It will be a trail and error fase I guess.

Subject: [SurfGuitar101] American Standard Strat Trem
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?
