Yes you can put a tremolo bridge in.
But with certain ones you would have to modify the body of your guitar. Replacing the bridge and most likely the tailpiece would have got he done. It’s much easier to just buy the guitar you want with a whammy already installed.
Beside above, are whammy bars worth it?
If you would only use it occasionally, then IMO it wouldn’t be worth the hassle. But, if you are a hopeful Steve Vai, then it would be. In that price range the hard-tail would probably be better for you. Most of the modern whammy work you are hearing is done with Floyd Rose or other floating trem.
Similarly, can a whammy bar break strings? They can go pretty far. I’ve lifted my ML Herman Li style and have not broken any strings. Different guitars will react differently, so you’ll have to find out for yourself. EDIT: Be careful, as you can break the actual bar.
Consequently, can a whammy bar damage a guitar?
A whammy bar will not damage the guitar, nor the guitar strings. The only problem is they can go out of tune quite often (depending on your playing).
Can all electric guitars use whammy bars?
Can any guitar have a whammy bar? Technically, yes. However, depending on what type of guitar you have, your tuning will be affected by heavy use of the whammy bar. Cheaper guitars will go out of tune much faster than higher quality guitars.
How do you install a fender whammy bar?
How does a tremolo bridge work?
Tremolo (the Whammy Bar)
guitar’s bridge. Essentially, the bridge is attached to springs that allow it to move back and forth by manipulating an attached arm (the whammy bar!) that modulates the pitch of your guitar’s strings by stretching them.
