  • Original Floyd trem arm with plastic bushing ????

    I was wondering if anyone makes a replacement arm with the plastic bushing on it like the mighty mite arms for the Floyd II? I bought one of the mighty mite arms not knowing that the Floyd II uses a larger diameter arm and the MM arm doesn't come with a collar assembly. The MM arm is too large for the original Floyd in my ESP and for the JT580LP's that are on my 94 Dinkys.

    So what do you need the replacement arm for? An Original Floyd?
    This is what I think of Gibson since 1993. I HATE BEING LEFT HANDED! I rock out to Baby metal because Wilkinsi said I can't listen to Rick Astley anymore.

        I don't necessarily need a replacement, I have arms for all my trems. The plastic type collar/wedge works much better (than the little metal studs on a regular floyd arm) at letting you get the amount of tension on the arm that you want without it coming loose every time you use it.

        I thought so too. The arms for my JT580LP's fit each other and the original floyd just fine. The MM arm is too big for all of them. It's like the regular arms are 6mm and this one is 7mm.

        I'm tempted to say screw it and buy one of the old style arms, but I rather not switch it all out if I can avoid it.

          Go buy some small rubber O rings and that should fix the problem.
