Fender squier strat tremolo arm problems, Help please! ?

Hi
i dont know much about guitars at all
ive just got a fender strat of ebay, i love it, but there's a problem with the tremolo arm, its very "stiff" to move, and when i try unwinding it im scared of breaking it
any ideas?
Much appreciated! :]

Hi! Unwinding, no problem; winding too tight, big problem (broken end!)! Just unwind and remove the bar from the tremolo block, coat the threads with silicone lubricant or light oil, and screw back into place. If you want to be extra cool, wrap the threads with teflon tape (plumber's aid, hardware store), which will make the bar more stable and easier to position. Best regards, Dana

This electric guitar represents a fantastic effort by Fender to replicate the 1962 Stratocaster along with adding a few upgrades thanks to the technology available in today's manufacturing. The body of a Strat is so well shaped that it feels very natural to hold and play and on this guitar it's made of Alder. The neck is a one piece bolt on with a C shape profile, these are a little thicker than others and a true replication of earlier Fender Strat models.

A nitrocellulose lacquer finish covers both the body and neck which is said to allow the guitar more room to breath which in turn will enhance its tonal quality. Pickup wise the guitar is equipped with 3 American Vintage single coils which are a special design by Fender and feature some great upgrades. They will deliver a wide ranging palette of sounds from your amplifier with a reverse wound middle pickup too.

The tremolo system is a copy of the vintage tremolo from the original models and there are Gotoh machine heads and the normal three ply scratch plate, all in keeping with the classic looks of an early Fender Stratocaster. With the guitars purchase you'll also get a deluxe brown hard shell case, a quality strap, a guitar lead and a kit to update to a 5 position pickup selector.

This is a great sounding guitar which is well made by Fender in the U.S. One great place to go for more information and to actually hear it being played by others is to do a search on You Tube for it.
