Fixing Flat Strat Syndrome (FSS) — Full Setup From Nut to Tremolo

Описание: Why This Strat Stays Flat (and How to Fix It)

If your Strat keeps drifting flat, fighting you, or refusing to stay in tune, this walkthrough will help you diagnose and fix the problem step by step — from the nut to the tremolo.
I cover nut slotting, neck relief, fret height, tremolo spring tension, action and radius, and intonation. You’ll see the exact tools I use on my bench and learn how to get your Strat stable without spending a ton of money.
