i might be losing my mind but i'm sure there was a page 2 on this thread, and somebody had mentioned possibly having a MIJ/CIJ spec arm in a drawer. if that's true and you see this, i'd be very interested in that! i've seen the Jpn arms have a nice curve to them. seems certain parts on CIJ/MIJ guitars were as nice or nicer than the US or aftermarket upgrade equivalents (like the stock switches having a far smoother action than switchcrafts, etc.)

If you don't go for Jack's combo pack, it's an 8-week wait but it's still cheaper than the £40 you were looking to import one last month, and they really are worth every penny.
Sadly I'm at 12 weeks and 3 days right now. Let's see if me saying something invokes Murphy's Law, though. LOL

Bill I've got an AV65 collet and arm I don't need anymore if that's of use- the collet could do with widening a bit as it was very snug and the arm basically stayed in there for a year (and could do with a squeeze of WD40), but if you want it let me know and you can grab it from me from the hare on the 29th?

🤣🤣🤣

I literally just got (and paid) the invoice for my four arms (two import, two US) five minutes ago.

🤣🤣🤣

I put 500k pots in and wired it tele-style (well, i mean without that resistor on the tone pot). it sounds basically the same and now the pots work more like i'm used to on all my other guitars.
