Fender Tremolo Arm for Mexican Standard Strat, Guitar Accessories

Fits my strat as it should. I rarely use a tremelo arm, but now I have it if I need it.

First of all, like all Fender genuine products I've purchased, this is top quality.Now, many people have given this bad reviews claiming that this is unusable. The claim is that, when the arm is screwed in all the way it is so low to the guitar body it is incredibly difficult to use. This is actually true...though not the whole story.You see, Fender screw-in tremolo arms are supposed to be used with a small spring inside the trem arm mount hole. This isn't made obvious and many people probably lost the spring (or didn't get one on a used guitar) so would never even know it needs to be in there. Fortunately I knew about this, and ordered a pack of Fender tremolo mount springs (from here on Amazon).Bottom line: With the proper tiny little spring in place, this tremolo arm screws in just the right amount, has perfect height, adjustment and feel, and works perfectly. Yes it's not the same as the ones that come with american Fenders but that's not what it's advertised as. For the price, it's an amazing product. If used correctly. I hope this review can help others make this work the way they would like. I love mine!

Threads fit fine on a MIM Fender Strat 2002Tried the spring and ball bearing setup ( Look it up ) .( Actually used a BB ) worked well after trimming 1mm off the spring. ~All good

Ordered the wrong one from another seller earlier. Was too small of thread and though it would go in it was really loose, wobbly, and struck the volume knobs--essentially unusable since it was designed for something else.This one fits my Fender Mexican 2017 Strat perfectly. Has a 90 degree bend, clears the knobs, decent tension so it stays in place. It doesn't have threads at the knob end. It requires a push-on knob. The knob, bought separately, needs to be of the larger 6mm size.

This is incredibly loose in my made in Mexico fender strat from the 1990's. Its loose enough that I'm sure it's the wrong size. It works, but it's loose as hell. I'm keeping it and using it. I like the angle it has and the length seems right as well.

I read all the conflicting reviews on whether or not this bar will fit in Asian/Japanese strats, and decided to take a chance. I'm glad I did! :) This bar is approx. 5mm in diameter, just FYI. Recently got a Ken (L'Arc~en~Ciel) signature model Fernandes Love Driver LD-95KK (the orange sparkly one with the gold aluminum pickguard and iron trem block), and inexplicably, it came with a left-handed whammy bar. From Japan.....let that sink in. The whammy bar actually fit, except for being backwards (Pro tip: If you've never owned a strat before, the threaded hole for the bar is actually at a DIAGONAL angle inside the block, so don't freak out, like me, thinking your trem bar hole is crooked). I basically held the bar up to my screen and compared the threads, and went, "Yup, it looks like that will fit!"....and it actually did. I'm assuming that if it fits the LD-95KK, it will probably fit any Love Driver, and likely any Fernandes strat.I just wanted to post this helpful bit of info.Protip #2, if you're ordering the arm, go ahead and order some Fender arm tension springs too. I recently learned about them after discovering that the only way the arm is fully firm is if it's screwed in all the way, which makes it parallel to the string, with no downward movement. No bueno! Drop in a tension spring and screw down the bar, and then you can leave it in any position and it should stay.OH! I wanted to mention as well that, also contrary to some of these reviews, my bar was a genuine Fender in the packaging, and the end cap needed to be pressed down over the bar. There's a small double-sided flange on the bar that helps hold the plastic cap on, so if you're hoping for a smooth Floyd Rose style bar for use without the cap, then this is not the bar for you.

I bought this for a 2003 Fender Stratocaster, to replace the plastic arm tip which my French Bulldog decided would be a delicious toy to chew on while my guitar was in a fret-rest in my studio...An original Fender part was shipped to me, which was reassuring at first. The thread size was correct for my guitar, which was fantastic until I proceeded to screw the arm into the tremolo bridge: that is when the problems started. When the tremolo bar is screwed in to the bridge properly, it hits the volume and tone knobs and will not even go past them or the pickup switch, rendering the tremolo bar useless. BIG problem.The new purchased arm is precisely one inch shorter than the original Fender tremolo bar, which I actually prefer. Instead of sending the tremolo bar back to Amazon, I carefully wrapped/covered the tremolo arm and slightly bent it with vise-grips so that the bar would clear the volume/tone knobs and pickup switch. 3-stars because I like the shorter bar and didn't mind bending some steel.
