WTB Jazmaster/Jazzblaster arm.

What's Hot

edited May 2022 in Parts £
Need imperial measurement (white medal/Chrome etc) arm for Jazzmaster. 
Digital callipers say the hole is 4,58mm, or 0.18inch. 

I bought one from eBay, was supposed to be for USA Jazzmaster trem, but was 5mm, no good.  Sending back. 

Can anyone help, or point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Marlin

    What version do you have? American Vintage Re-Issue, American Vintage or one of the modern models?

    Fender changed the shape of the end of the arm, where it is gripped in the collet. The AV is not unlike the Staytrem design.
    Be seeing you.

    It’s this one. 

    It came to me minus the arm, I’m pretty sure it has a USA Fender trem on it, but not sure which variant.

    Marlin,

    If 5mm is too big it will probably be a 3/16” (4.76mm) diameter arm like the vintage tremolo systems.

    Any idea where I could find one?  Can’t seem to find one that shows correct measurements

    Sorry, I don’t know. I did a quick Google search (other search engines are available) but nobody states the arm diameter. 
    I made all of my Jazzmaster / Jaguar tremolo arms…..all you need is a blow torch, a vice and a dremel to shape the locking detail at the collect end. I superglue the tip on.
