on my strat knockoff (w/ vintage tremolo) i accidentally broke the tremolo bar. Problem is, it broke right before the part that screws in so there is no way i can think of to screw it out nor enough room to screw a new one in. You guys hae any suggestions as to how to get that piece out?

one aspect of the guitar that still elludes me is tilted pickups such as the bridge p'up on a S/S/S strat. I heard that the tilt does something to the treble tone. first question: What exactly does this do? i have also noticed some guitars with p'ups tilted thje opposite direction second...
