Custom designed and
manufactured stainless steel tremolo arms for
ONLY the Fender® American Deluxe, Elite and Ultra Strat® that
accepts the pop-in
tremolo arm.
We custom fabricate
each of these tremolo arms by hand from
precision centerless ground 303
stainless steel.
Available In
Two Lengths
- 4-¼"
- Gilmour Length
- 5-½"
- Standard Length
This tremolo
arm design does not have the traditional plastic tip,
instead the tip end of the bar is rounded and
the entire
tremolo arm is polished to a high shine finish.
We do not offer a version of this
tremolo arm that has a plastic tip.
All of our tremolo arms are
designed around a free-floating bridge setup to
create their proper tip-to-pickguard distance.
To effectively use any of our
tremolo arms your bridge
must be setup as
free-floating with the back underside edge of the bridge plate up off the body
by 1/8".
These tremolo arms will
not
fit the American Professional Strat®, will
not fit the
83-84 Elite Strat with the Freeflyte bridge and
will not fit any
Strat® that accepts a screw-in tremolo arm.
IMPORTANT
TREMOLO ARM TENSION ADJUSTMENT NOTE: There are two set screws on
the back side of the American Deluxe, Elite and
Ultra Strat® tremolo block, they dictate the
insertion and rotational friction of the tremolo
arm as well as to adjust for any looseness or
tightness of fit in your tremolo block. These set screws use a 3/32" hex wrench,
one is accessible just under the top plate on
the back side of the bridge the other requires
removal of the bridge from the guitar.
Both of these set screws pinch the tremolo arm
plastic bushing for a tighter tremolo arm fit.
The upper set screw is primarily used to dictate
the tremolo arm rotational friction, the lower
set screw is primarily used to dictate how firm
or loose the tremolo arm engages the retaining
clip.
