My OCD is killing me - Avri tremolo arm
I ordered a Fender Tremolo arm and it’s short. Argh!
It kills me. Then I read that th Staytrem arm and collet was short too, right?
Is there a wizard around that makes these at home?
End of rant. Sorry.

I feel you! Short as in height or length?

The length. The tip should be closer to the neck pickup. It just feels weird, not like the trem in my jaguar. Ugh.

Well the neck pickup is closer to the tailpiece on a Jag. The arms are the same length, it's the guitar which is bigger.

True that. But, I’ve read that Fender anyways makes them shorter now? Still the bar on my Jaguar is longer than the “official” replacement. I’ll get a picture later for reference.

Is that a real fender trem arm? It doesn't have the little beveling on the end, from the looks of it, where it snaps in the collet.

The one on the left was bought from a Fender dealer. The one on the right came with an avri trem I bought from a fellow osger and works like a charm, so I dont know what to tell you.

Looks like an unthreaded strat arm

Does it snap into the collet? I don't know how it would work if it doesn't have that bevel.

I just want a longer trem bar. It does make a difference to me, aesthetically and functionally.
