Guitar Fail | I Broke my Whammy Bar! 🤣

While playing a guitar solo on my Fender Custom Shop 1960 Stratocaster, the whammy bar breaks. One of the most terrible guitar fails, and accidents I've ever experienced while playing electric guitar!

When your really feeling the flow and that just happens 😫

[jetcaspian]

I was gonna say I didn't think you were supposed to be pulling up so hard on a bridge that isn't floating. But my question was answered very quickly lol

[rickgolder]

When you get into the mood, and forget you are playing a strat

[katsuya]

Yep, this is exactly what i was looking for. I just learned you can use the whammy bar the opposite way and when i tried i realised it's not possible with stratocasters so i searched and found your video.

I literally was thinking about that happening to me I didn’t know it could actually happen

[johnathans]

I was thinking this earlier, didn’t wanna break my whammy bar

[Chris-TMH]

ngl when it's snapped I laughed so hard.

time for a digital whammy bar bro 🤘

[evansoricelli]

same thing happened to me less than 24 hours ago

[CommanderGunnar]

This is what I’m afraid of when I use my whammy bar

[WorshipGuitaristlife]

It's kinda possible on a Ibanez Gio. Only one step, 2 half steps though. E-F#

[SeanCrowleyMusic]

happened to me and it sucked I wasn't even pulling up on it it just broke off

[bengosling]

Forget the current headlines on the news. This was real cause for concern 😱

[chrisbauman]

I hope my strat n very does this, cause I too love the whammy bar

[Skiddog.]

Yep that's why I use 6 screw bridge set to only dive, my guy going at it like it's a Floyd x'd

[miked]

Need at least a recessed trem if u wanna be pulling up like that, but hey you were feeling it! Right amount of springs and claw screw adjustment for best results with any trem setup

[landon]

U can get the same vibrato with your fingers no reason to even use the whammy, if it’s too much tension for u on bends put it in half step and practice but if u do use the whammy look at how Gilmour or Jeff beck Uses them delicate with the hands and more in the wrist don’t just crank that shit with your arm homie

[isadorenunes]

Eu senti ele puxando demais, sabia q alguma coisa ia acontecer

[eddiekoach]

Were you ever able to take the piece out?

[jordanwparker]

How hard was it getting it out of the bridge lmfao 😆

[_MEGADETH]

You can't bend it up that much if at all lol 😆
