White or ivory Staytrem with AO Jazzmaster?

Post by fretbuzzard » Wed Jun 01, 2022 5:08 am

I’ve got a sunburst AO Jazzmaster, and I’m wondering whether the white or the ivory trem arm tip is the better match for the plastic parts on the American Originals. Any advice?

Not much of a difference really. The pickup covers are kinda in between the two.

Fair enough. I suppose the “aged” white plastic on the AO isn’t going to get any *whiter*….

If it isn't dark enough just put the end of the tremolo arm down in some stiff coffee & it'll darken it up nicely
Your results may vary, I have used a tea bag to do the same thing before on a strat & a Les Paul's switch tip on the end of a small threaded rod because it would float otherwise
I just ordered a Stay-Trem Tremolo Arm & Collet but it's for a 2013 Jazzmaster Modern Player with black hardware, so I ordered the metric 10mm with the black tip...

I have the same guitar in the same colour man, I went for an ivory tip when ordering a Staytrem arm/collet. Looks good, so I’d say ivory.

Excellent, that’s exactly what I needed to hear. Ordered! Thanks, all.
