Replacement Arm for American Pro Jaguar

[audiopablo]

I'm having trouble locating one. I lost mine when I sent it on accident to the East Coast with a MIM Jazzmaster I sold.

I found a replacement http://darrenriley.com/store/fender-ame ... 710405000/, but it needs a tip. Are the tips standard fare I can pick up anywhere? Are these arms used on anything else from Fender?

Thanks!

I can tell you that the tip from (at least some) American Special Strats don't fit the American Professional Jag arm. One totally screws on to the arm and the other is mostly slide on (I forget which). I wanted a black tip on my Jag instead of the stock white one, and a friend has a Special with black tip (he doesn't use the arm) and I tried swapping tips but it didn't work. Can't remember if the white tip from my American Standard Strat gave the same result or not. I also can't remember if I tried swapping the arms. I reckon I did try and didn't succeed, because surely I'd have thought of that. I ended up just using black paint marker (worked 10x better than expected).

The arms on American Professional Strats and other Jags are pop-in, so they won't work on your guitar but I don't know about their tips being compatible or not.

So I don't know what does work for you but I can kinda tell you some of what doesn't

Hi Futuron,

Much appreciated. Getting that arm and trying a strat tip was what I was considering. Won't do that now. Thanks.

According to the Fender service diagram, it uses part 0994933000, which is Orig Strat Aged Trem Arm Tips. If you were going to order them together, you could email and ask him to test the fit first.

Okay, I checked again between those 3 American guitars. Here are my findings:


Special Strat tip is slide on. Will not work on Professional Jag or Standard Strat arm.

Standard Strat tip screws on Jag arm no problem and vice versa. Even though the threads are a different length.

Both Strat arms screw in to Jag & vice versa - however the Strat arms are @4cm shorter than the Jag arm (roughly the size of the tip). I don't know if that would work for you or not. It means your hand is much closer to the bridge when you use it.


Sadly I don't know what Mexican/Squier/Elite Strats use for their tips though

thank you all. This is helpful indeed.
