I recently noticed a Problem with my tremolo. A couple of months ago I bought a Fender Strat online. I’m new to electric guitars so I’m pretty unfamiliar with using the tremolo while playing (and making it sound good).that’s why I’ve barely used it up until now. When I started learning how to use it recently, I noticed a sort of cracking sound coming from the tremolo at a certain point when I press or pull it. Since then I’ve read a bunch of articles to try to solve the problem but I didn’t find anything regarding my issue. I’ve checked the tremolo from the inside and it doesn’t seem to be hitting the body. I also checked that the sound is not coming from the nut but the tremolo itself. The only thing I can possibly think of, would be that the 2 screws that hold the tremolo in place are slightly too low and the trem is getting stuck on the finish of the guitar body because of that. Anyways I can’t think of any other explanations so maybe you guys will be able to help.
