Strat set up (3)

These days, I don't whammy. I would usually tighten the whammy screws into the body so the bridge won't pivot up when string bends are employed. Remember to protect the guitar body if you use extensive screw drivers like mine here. I would usually lay a cloth down there but this is a suggestion of what you can do if you are in a hurry. Since the cavity cover is there, use it. 😙
