    Broken whammy

    My whammy bar just broke apart, leaving a metal piece inside the hole. How could I take it out? Has this ever happened to someone here? I'm trying everything, any help is very welcome

    This is actually not the first time I've heard of it, but i'm still at a loss as to how you one actually breaks off the "whammy bar". (Maybe that's exactly how, as it was intended for tremolo and not full blown "whammy".) You're regular repairman can do it, or you can do it yourself if you are mechanically inclined and have some good tools. Basically, it involves drilling a hole in the remnant of the bar, and using an "easy-out" to unscrew it.

    I must admit I've abused it the last 4 years but... It's the first time I've heard anything even close. Thanks my friend.
