ok so, my guitar has a tremolo, but a 'floppy' one, means that it does not stay up, so im wondering if theres a way to change that tremolo and get one that will stay tight?

You have a floating trem? And it keeps dipping down into the cavity?

I think I'm confused because of your terminology. You mean the whammy bar?

Does the whammy bar screw in, or can you just push it in?

Inside the hole where you put the whammy bar, is there a rubber lining around the hole? You'll be able to see it from looking right down at it. It'll look like a circle within the circle.

Some people have said that putting tape around the part that goes in would work since it would have less space to move. Some people have also tied rubber bands around the part that goes in (don't know how they got such thin ones.)
Other than that, I'm not sure what you could do/buy.
