    Just got an old 1989 Japanese Strat . Its lefthanded .

    Sounds great , plays great through my JCM2000...

    Only problem is it is quite hard to push down on the tremelo arm and its quite high even when spun all the way round

    I re-setup the springs in the back (2 , 3 and 4 positions) .

    Also its fretting out on the 17th fret on the Highe E string..

    Any help??

    Really needs a setup. If you are not sure, take it somewhere and pay the few quid.

    Otherwise, the trem might be easier to press down with one less spring in there.;)
    Action might be a bit too low with the 17th fret thing. Or some frets need to be filed down.

    Using 9's or 10's or maybe something else????????

    I'd always start by using spings 1 3 5 and put them on to lugs 2 3 4

    If it floating wrong or hard push down adjust using the 2 screws holing the plate that the screws are attached to.

    Fiddle with that seee how you get on if its cathing on 17th fret it could be a few things

    little gimp in neck
    Protruding fret
    Tilt neck adjustment if present


    If your not sure what your at bring it to someone who know

    hope that helps

    any questions I can answer I'll give you whatever knowledge I have
