Answer 1

The whammy or tremelo bars come in different sizes to fit different bridges. You have to get one that matches the bridge on your guitar. Take the guitar with you to the music store to make sure you get the right one.

Answer 2

Well, it depends if your guitar came with a whammy bar thing built in it (like a place to screw in your whammy bar), because some guitars, such as Gibson, don't install things for whammy bars. And I've never heard of anyone installing a whammy bar into their guitar, and I don't know if it would work, because whammy bars have to do a certain thing to your strings in order to make the cool sounds. But you can ask like, a guitar specialist, or someone at a guitar place, like Sam Ash or Guitar Center, and see what they say.

Answer 3

Take the guitar and the whammy bar back to where you bought th bar, and see if it's the right one for the guitar. It should be threaded and just screw into the little hole. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

do the squiers not have a threaded hole near the bridge? i never had a squier, a standard strat doesn't cost that much more.
