whammy bar adjustment

Hey,

I've heard of people adjusting their bars and I think I want to make mine better too.

Basically I want it so it is easier to grab.

Should I straighten it out? or just decrease the angle of the bend (it is at about 95' , maybe 90 or 85 would be better).


Do I need pro tools or do I just grab some heavy duty pliers?

Will the tools fuck up the material of the bar (graphite)?> I dont really want noticable scratches or anything...

Thanks for your help.

do you mean the trem arm??

anyway, if its a floating bridge, u could set it up, so that the trem isnt paralell to the body, but a bit more sunken into the body (like hanging back), this will kinda point the trem arm more up.. if thats what u mean, i couldnt realy make out what u ment from your post..but thats probaly me

EDIT: oh wait i think i get it, i think it would be easiest, to let someone bend it the way you want with some pro tools, i dont think thremarms are realy easy to bend, and im pretty sure it will leave scratches onit to

And the paint (or chrome) will probably chip off if bend it too far.
