Senang sebenarnya nak convert itu strat kepada fixed bridge.
- terutamanya pada vintage 6 skrew fender bridge.

1st
- naikan semua 6 skrew pivot bridge lebih 1mm -2mm.

2nd - sendalkan block
- guna la aper aper yg muat utk sendal antara block tremolo supaya ia tak terjongket.
- tune to ur standard tune.
- buat intonation, set saddle nyer high.

3. turun kan kedua dua pivot,
- paling atas dan bawah supaya menghampiri tremoli plat.
- dalam 1/2mm kira ok, jangan rapat trus kat tremolo plat.
- sebabnya kita still boleh pakai whammy bar.
- dalam kedudukan ne, bridge sepatutnya rata pada permukaan body guitar.

4. tambah spring.
- biasanya korang letak 3 spring jer kat tremolo claw.
- tambah jadi 4 or 5 terus.
- ketatkan spring claw, supaya tremolo sentiasa tertarik rapat ker body.

5. Abis.
- still boleh guna wammy bar, cuma boleh kendurkan tali jer laa.
- nak tarik tak boleh.
- kalo still nak guna whammy bar, pastikan spring tak terlalu tegang dan sebaiknya pakai 4 or 3 spring jer.
- karang itu wahmmy bar patah pasal tension spring kuar bangat.
- paling terbaik adalah blocked the tremolo dengan bar kayu.
- kalo rasa nak pakai whammy, remove itu kayu laaa.


Pro
- fixed bridge ne lagi banyak body tone pada gua.
- bunyi kayu tu keluar laaa.
- Attack tali pun lebih.
- lebih punchy tone dia.
- resonance body kepada string improve.
- nak main vibrato or bending rasa lebih berkesan.
- tuning, intonation pun senang.


Con
- tarak whammy effect.
- tone kengkadang hampes, kalo setup tak ngam, terutamanya bila construction dan tonewood tak betul.


Sebenarnya, tutup balik semua lubang cavity bridge dan spring boleh di buat oleh tukang guitar berpengalaman.
