I am looking for a trem arm for my MIJ Strat. Does anyone know where I can find one locally? Ideally in the Gauteng area. I believe it has a 5mm (M5) thread size.
Trem arm for MIJ Strat
Terry Distributors in Cape Town has them, and I'm sure they'd post you one. They are also easy to make, if you have access to an m5 die nut. Use a piece of 5mm stainless rod, cut the thread and bend it to shape. It polishes up and never rusts. I made one with a brass bit to go on the end, but wood or plastic will also do.
Thanks for the reply Fumblefingers! Music Connection had a box full of Fender style trem arms and I found the perfect one.Fumblefingers wrote: Terry Distributors in Cape Town has them, and I'm sure they'd post you one.
