Stratocaster Backplate
Fender Stratocaster Highway One Problem.?
I recently bought a Fender Strat Highway One (American made), so far i've been very pleased with it except for one thing.
It didn't stay in tune at ALL. i'd be playing and playing and then 20 minutes later my E would be dropped and i'd have to retune the whole thing.
When i took it to my guitar teacher he told me to set the bridge flat so it'd hug the body. i took off the backplate and set it up so the bridge is flat now.
the guitar stays in tune now but now the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th frets on my high E and B string are buzzing and are just twanging.
any ideas how to solve this?

Hello there,
Did the store you bought the guitar at do a set up on the guitar? It sounds like you need a good set up to adjust the action and get the tremolo properly adjusted. By the way the tremolo bridge plate should float level and not be down tight against the body.
Do you want to know how to do a set up on your guitar? If you are not capable of doing this, you should take it to a shop and have their tech do the necessary maintenance.
