Question

whats wrong with it?

or what should do?

Answer 1

maybe you are putting the whammy bar wrong or maybe your guitar is broken, try to put it again and if it doesn't work go to the store go to a music store and ask for help.

you should get a better guitar.

Answer 2

Are you a beginner guitarist?? I thought mine didn't work either but i found out i was using it wrong. You don't just pull it up and down Like 'floor to ceiling' you push it in towards the strings. In other words lay the guitar in your lap and then play a string then push down towards the strings on the whammy bar it should work. Let me know if this helps  Good luck!!
