Custom designed
and manufactured tremolo arm for genuine Fender® Strat®
tremolo bridges only that accept a screw-in tremolo arm.
Fabricated from precision centerless ground 303
stainless steel which produces a satin silver finish.
These tremolo arms are NOT
designed for any of the Squier®
Strat's®, so DO NOT purchase for any Squier®. These tremolo arms will NOT work
with any Strat that accepts a pop-in tremolo arm
such as the American Deluxe, Elite, Ultra or Pro
Strat, none of those 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.
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".
Our "EZ Trem" style of tremolo arm is very
similar 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®. The Precision Ground finish provides a smooth
satin finish. They are not chrome plated. 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.
We
Offer The ' EZ Trem '
In Three Different Lengths:
- 4¼" Short Length.
- 5¼" Intermediate Length.

-
Metric 5mm - Import Strat's; Mexican
and Japanese Strat's® that accept the M5 x 0.8
threaded screw-in tremolo arm, NOT Squier's®.
If you have a genuine Fender tremolo
bridge and are unsure as to the
correct attachment threading in your bridge read our
article on how to
determine your tremolo arm attachment threading
before ordering. These tremolo arms are not designed for
Squier's or any aftermarket or non-Fender tremolo
bridges.
The tip end of the tremolo arm is
threaded to accept one of our screw-on plastic tips which
are
available in six different colors; black,
cream, vintage cream, mint green, parchment or white.
The plastic tip color you are selecting is supposed to
match your "Accessories" which are your tremolo arm tip,
switch tip, knobs and pickup covers, so select a plastic
tip color that most closely matches your accessories,
you are not trying to match the tremolo arm tip with
your pickguard color, that is incorrect.
Genuine Fender tremolo arm tips are slightly too small
to fit the 5mm tremolo arms, however the tips can be
reamed out by about 0.010" and then they will fit.
These tremolo arms are custom
manufactured for each order, they do not qualify for
return, exchange or refund. Give us up to 14 days to get
your tremolo arm fabricated.
