Edit: Fixed the fact that the guitar pic was reversed while I was making this awful meme
explain
The second pic shows the bridge of the guitar. If you know what happened with PewDiePie and a bridge...
Hoping he jumped off one
It’s a sweet guitar to play. But the bridge shown in the second pic suuuuuucks to setup/use. Especially if you’re a beginner.
They're fine if you screw them all the way down and just never try to use the tremolo function*. A true hard tail is better for overall pick attack/initial sustain, and won't suffer from tuning stability issues if you don't have either a block or strong enough springs holding the 6-point trem down inside the body cavity, but the 6-point vintage trems are OK in that configuration. If nothing else, it's a lot less work to set up than a Floyd Rose, but god damn, a Floyd that is properly set up and intonated can stay in tune for weeks at a time. That initial setup on a Floyd -- especially if you change string gauges -- is absolute hell, though.
Tuning stability problems with Fender-style bridges are often a problem with strings binding in the nut slots, especially on the MiM and Squier models. A little bit of graphite lubricant in the slots can alleviate this, unless the slots are too deep or too narrow, in which case, someone (preferably a qualified tech with the right set of gauged files) will need to do some cutting and/or shaping.

*If your saddle height adjustment screws are long enough that you can lift the saddles up to compensate for the bridge plate being lower. Otherwise, you're getting into weird bridge plate shim territory.
I had to look it up. PewDiePie said the gamer word while on a bridge while playing PUBG. This is apparently referred to as "The Bridge Incident."
A lot of people are diving, including myself initially, way too deep into the guitar pictures.
i look over at my strat, which i don't really play because i'm tired of trying to persuade it to be in tune. (pups are unfortunately a bit ass too. they used to put kind of meh ceramic single-coils into their standard series MIM guitars at the time i got this, before they started putting out nicer ones in their more modern player series stuff.)
Is this a left-handed guitarist playing on a right-handed guitar reference? Jimi and Dick Dale did something like this iirc. They were both lefties, but did things a bit differently.
Nothing to do with guitar inherently. It's just that the second pictures of the guitar is a closeup of the guitar's bridge, and if you know what happened with PewDiePie and a bridge...
It’s not exactly cheap, but the best strat-style vibrato bar out there has to be the Rick Toone ‘67. Smooth saddles, stays in tune better than your usual strat bridge, using the bar doesn’t affect the action, and most importantly the relatively tuning between the strings doesn’t change when using the bar. So you can bend an entire chord up or down, as opposed to most vibrato bars where it goes out of relative tune.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Screaming the
word when I can't find a guitar equipped with a Kahler Flyer trem with a Floyd Rose style locking nut, and screaming it again when I get the parts and labor quote to have my local music store do the mod for me because I am an absolute dingus that cannot be trusted with a plunge routerThis mother fucker looks like he sounds like Daffy Duck when he speaks
How to use a strat trem: install a brass block, 5 springs, and a maple spacer. Now you don't have to use the strats trem.

Reversed the pic by mistake BTW
This is why you go for a telecaster.
