We are custom fabricating these pop-in tremolo arms
for the American
Professional series Strat® that was introduced in 2017.
This includes the
original Professional Strat and the Professional II
Strat, they both have the same bridge and the same
tremolo arm.
These are NOT a screw-in tremolo arm and will
ONLY fit the
American Professional series Strat®, they will
NOT fit
the American Deluxe, Elite or Ultra Strat® and
are not designed for any bridge other than a
genuine Fender®.
We custom fabricate each of
these tremolo arms by hand from precision
centerless ground 303 stainless steel and polished
to a finish similar to chrome.
Available In
Three Lengths
- 4-¼"
- Gilmour Length
- 5-¼"
- Intermediate Length
- 6"
- Standard Length
As depicted below, we offer
6 different colored genuine Fender plastic tips to choose from. The
choices are White, Parchment, Aged White and Black. For
a limited time we
are able to offer Vintage White and
Eggshell plastic tips, these two colors
are not shown in the image below but a comparison of
all of Fender's different plastic colors can be
viewed here.
These tremolo arms are specifically
designed around a free-free floating bridge setup. With the two pin pivot tremolo system of the American
Professional Strat® the FRONT
edge of your bridge top plate should be raised
approximately 0.030" from the painted surface of the
body, this is about the thickness of credit card, your
bridge should only pivot on the two pins, not on the
body like a vintage Strat® bridge. The back edge of the
bridge should be raised up off the surface of the body
by 1/8". With this setup the plastic tip end of
these tremolo arms will be placed approximately 2" to
2-1/4" above the pickguard surface when the arm is in
the playing position. Your actual tremolo arm
tip-to-pickguard surface distance may vary depending on
your particular bridge setup. We DO NOT recommend your
bridge to be setup as flush with the body, your tremolo
arms tip-to-pickguard surface distance would then be
greater and difficult to use correctly.
These tremolo arms are
fabricated for the American Professional series of Strat® in small
production run quantities due to the extended time it
takes to create each tremolo arm. Give us up to 14 days
to complete your tremolo arm.
