401.0. "Strat SYS II Set Up" by EAYV01::GFITZSIMMONS () Tue Nov 24 1987 10:26

    Hi there,
    
    Any info out there on setting up a Fender Strat System II tremelo ?
                                                                    
    My friend has just purchased a second-hand model (No documentation
    supplied ) and is not having much fun at all.
    
    I recall reading somewhere ( GP ?) that the unit should be set so
    that when the arm is pulled up, the note is raised a semi-tone -
    Is that correct ?
                     
    Thanks in advance for any info.
    
    Gordon Fitzsimmons ( Scotland ).

	The problem with that idea is that each string will change it's tone differently, based on their thickness. My setup gives me approx 1/2 tone on the high E and 1 8ve on the low E, but that's a wonder bar - probably won't be able to do that with anything else 'cept maybe a Floyd Rose. BTW, that's pushing - don't expect the same response on a pull, or you might hurt yourself. Jon
