>My advice is you crank that fucker down against the body

That's what I have done. I do whammys by grabbing the bridge (with either
hand, depending on which one isn't needed). I originally started doing this
because I lost my whammy bar, but then I realized I hated the whammy bar
because it got in the way of my palm muting of the high strings. So that's
just what I do now. This is much easier when there are less springs in the
back, but since I moved to .12's I had to add an extra spring. I don't
really ever have problems with going out of tune with the bridge all the way
down + I always tune UP to the note, otherwise it will slip out of tune if
you whammy and bend. Atleast that is what I have found.
>As for your neck bowing - thats why they have trussrods, eh?
I have flatwound 12's on mine and my action kind of sucks. The main problem
isn't bow, but that the neck just leans forward a little bit. How much does
it cost to have this fixed or set up? I'm not that concerned about my
action because I can still play it fine.
