Help! Mustang trem arm

Olleandro

Hi guys

Can anyone help me? I'm trying to find a whammy bar for an american mustang. The only ones i can find on Ebay are for the japanese re-issue! To make it worse i live in England where bits are a nightmare to find! Anyone got a spare that needs a good home that i can buy?

Cheers, Ollie

You know i saw a vintage Mustang trem. bar on ebay not to long ago and it sold for $110+ are these really fetching that much?

Olleandro

god help us all if they are! Half the old mustangs on ebay are missing the arm, where do these things go? It's a conspiracy.

I think Marshall Parts have them, I have also seen somewhere someone who makes aftermarket vintage replacements, just search the major online retailers

$110 for this?

i like old school one

but ... 110 bucks dude ?

isint more easy and cheap , Check on a Steel Things maker and request a custom one ?

The major retailers never seem to actually have anything in stock. I don't think Allparts for example has ever stocked one thing i've actually ordered!!!!!!!! And i want a bendy old school one!

i don't think they make the american sized ones. the japanese ones have a larger diameter:

Yes sir. i was waching the auction because i want to buy it, but i dont need it that bad. I have the original bar that came with my '65 but i needed one for a '70's Stang

Make one? I d rather stick a strat bar in there 😀

Why not just file or drill the hole for trem arm on US trem to suit MIJ arm? That is what i would do.

cheap idea , go to a Steel thing's maker , steel maker's do a steel things like Spokens / Nail's ... etc... , request a Good Quality Steel Chrome Custom one , give Specs , and wait them 😀 , add fender strato plastic tip at top

Check under ur city if the steel maker's do a expensive job

checked here about 16 reais to do one ....
