I modded my guitar, and so can you! Part 2

Fixing and adjusting the tremolo on a Fender Japan Jaguar.

This Jag was purchased used and the whammy bar needed some minor repairs. As you will see, the trem unit is pretty simple and self contained. The repairs and adjustments are quite easy. Feel free to ask any questions if I didnt cover something. I tried not to ramble in this video.

i have a fender classic player jaguar and on my whammy barsystem the peic ewhich holds the bar- the pertruding bit which comes up inbetween the strings came loose and fell inside the hole where it comes out of! piss take my mum desides she wants to send it back but i'm sure it's not a majure issue-any help??

[Lukeyourself]

The video should show you the set up... like you said, it justfeel through. Just take the strings off and open it...things just need to be tightened up.

ei! Hi!, I have a Jaguar HH Special Edition, and this does not have the tremolo, now I wear it, I can put the jaguar normal?, Or do you recommend something?

[Lukeyourself]

puntoycoma00...I think it would be a bit of work to add a tremolo to your guitar. But you already have a separate bridge and tail piece. you could, in theory, just route the hole for the standard jag trem and drop it in...using your existing bridge unit...but that could be considered a pretty "advanced" upgrade. How much do you trust yourself? You might talk to a local guitar repair shop for pointers.

Solid presentation, bruz. I have 5 Jags (!) and I love 'em!

It pays to get to know 'em, hey/ ENJOY

[mindlesspuppet94]

when i prses the whammy bar down it makes a horrible noise BLIIING !! and every string is out of tune. Any help ?

[CRohrich97]

is that a vox ac-30 behind you?

[MemorymanDL]

If I may ask, didn't they start making the classic player series with a different sort of bridge to fix this recently?

Because I played one in a shop a few days ago and I went a bit nuts with the vibrato and it actually kept it's tune pretty well.

Good video, I like the diagrams.
