  • JT580LP trem arm keeps coming loose.

    I tighten the trem arm, and after a just a little bit of abuse, it becomes slightly loose. The more I use the trem the looser it gets. AFter a couple of times it becomes almost unusable.

    Any tips for this?

    Thanks,

    Check the little screw that holds the arm mount in the trem plate. you should be able to access it from the rear trem cavity.. If it is the collar thatis coming loose, try a little teflon tape.

      Replace it with an OFR... You won't be sorry! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

      Seriously though, teflon tape will work, or you could try replacing the bar with an actual OFR bar. They are only about $10.

        Thanks for the replies guys.
        I'll try the teflon tape. Where do you buy these tape?

        I'll replace it with an OFR as soon as the JT580LP wears out...

          look in the plumbing section at any discount store or hardware store. It is the white tape used to make pipe fittings waterproof, and it is very inexpensive.
