Custom designed
and manufactured tremolo arm for genuine Fender® Strat®
tremolo bridges that accept a screw-in tremolo arm.
Featured here is a unique new design
for a Strat® tremolo
arm; The "EZ Trem". As you already know, when in use, the standard Strat® tremolo arm
comes straight toward the neck as it comes up and out of the bridge, with the
"EZ Trem" design it drops down approximately 1-1/2"
(towards the tone knobs) before turning and coming back toward the
neck (as depicted in the photo to the right and
below).
This 1½" drop lowers the tremolo arm and places it in a more forward and
natural angle within the hand when swung into the playing position and opens the
strings near the saddles for easy palm muting. This drop
is NOT referring to any relationship between the tremolo
arm tip-to-pickguard distance.
The "EZ Trem" design is very comfortable for those that like
to hold or rest the tremolo arm in their hand while playing, it also facilitates
palm muting of the strings with ease. Many find that the 4¼" length
"EZ-Trem" arm can be held quite well with just their little finger permitting
simultaneous tremolo use while picking or strumming. Whether it is held
entirely in your hand or with just your little finger, you will find that the "EZ
Trem" tremolo arm is a unique improvement over the standard Strat® tremolo
arm style.
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
shortened tremolo arms your bridge must be setup as
free-floating.
Our "EZ Trem" style of tremolo arm is very
similar as to those used by Hank Marvin and Brian May.
Each of our "EZ Trem" tremolo
arms are custom manufactured by hand from Precision Ground 303 Stainless Steel
in three lengths for the Fender® Stratocaster® style
of guitars. The
Precision Ground finish provides a very smooth and clean appearance. The 303
grade of stainless steel offers
strength, durability and excellent machinability to
produce clean accurate threading. The "EZ Trem" tremolo arms are threaded at the attachment end
in either American UNF 10-32 or Metric 5mm threading, they are also threaded on
the tip end to accept standard plastic tips.
The "EZ Trem" is
manufactured for right handed guitars only.
 If
you have one of the half-thickness tremolo blocks on
your import bridge then our custom tremolo arms
won't have the proper bend angle for that style of
bridge, those bridges accept the tremolo arm into
the block at a 10 degree different angle than the
typical Strat tremolo bridge. You can confirm
this by the removal of the back plate on your Strat
and looking at the bottom of your tremolo block
where the tremolo tension springs clip on, the
tremolo block will only be 1/4" thick and that is
not what you want to see, so don't purchase one of
these tremolo arms for that bridge.
