Where to buy tremolo arm screw or grub.

notanon · July 2019

To tighten a tremolo arm there are sometimes a screw which is accessed by pushing the tremolo into towards the body lifting the back and then you can access the screw to tighten. They are usually tightened with a 1.5mm allen key. Where can you buy these?

A description can be seen in the video below but mine isn't for a chapman. It is for a wilkinson knife edge tremolo.

Forgot to say thanks in advance ;-)

It'll be an M3 thread and about 3mm in length. I probably have one I can send if you like?

notanon · July 2019

@SteveRobinson thank you Steve just pm'd you

For other people here if anybody knows where to get the specific screws please update the thread with details thanks folks.

I've put two grub screws in the post.

I've been looking for something similar for an Ibanez S SAT Pro II bridge. Does anyone know if this is also an M3 thread with the same 3mm length? I've been looking through Ibanez parts lists but this item is not listed on it's own.

I think they are all pretty much the same. The reason it's not listed is probably because it is an easily obtainable generic part.

Happy to send you one!

Thanks...you're right...I didn't know what I was looking for - now I know what it is...they are listed everywhere but seem to be in packets of 50+.

I've put one in the post @Blackbooks ;

@SteveRobinson Thank you!

Older speakon NL4 connectors as used on speaker leads use the same grub screw just for information

You can put a little spring into a Strat one; they're rather good.

(But careful you don't lose it if you're in the habit of unscrewing the trem arm.

Five for 99p (with free shipping). It probably cost Steve (bless his heart) more than that to post it...!
