Reproduction spring steel tremolo arm retaining
clip for the 1983-84 Fender American Elite Strat
with the Freeflyte (Schaller Germany) tremolo
bridge that accepts the pop-in style tremolo arm.
Price: $10.00 Each
This tremolo arm retaining clip is NOT for the newer
American Deluxe, Ultra, Elite or Professional Strat's that
also
accept the pop-in style of tremolo arm, they use a
different style of retaining clip that is
offered here.
If you are unsure as to which retaining clip
your bridge accepts, then write us an
email before ordering.
Installation: It's not hard by any
means to install this little retaining clip, it
just simply slides into place. You’ll notice the
clip's two ends overlap along the one side so
when installing this spring clip on your tremolo
arm bushing on your bridge you will want to
insert the opposite side of the clip into the
small grove in the bushing while tilting the
clip up from the overlapping end side so the
opposite side will slide into the groove, then
simply lower the clip down onto the bushing and
use your finger tips to gently pull back
on the two ends of the clip to slightly
expand it allowing it to slide down onto the
bushing. Since there are fine threads on the
bushing this clip will want to stay in place by
using the threads as a grooves for the clip to
hold onto. A review of the photograph to the
right will show you exactly how it will look
when installed correctly.
