  • Where can I get a decent Jackson replacement trem arm?

    I picked up a used DK and it appears the trem arm is not original. Even though I firmly tighten the collar to the tremolo, it looses when rotating the arm during normal use. It also has a little rattle play to it when it loosens which is frickin annoying. I compared it to my other DK2 with the original trem and that one doesn't get loose or rattle. I used that trem arm on the DK I just picked up and all is good. Also works great with a OFR trem arm I tried from my EVH. I believe the replacement arm is the one they sell at Guitar Center. I also tried one from Guitar Fetish which is nearly identical. Who sells original Jackson or OFR arms??

    these come now with an allen head for the nut built in.

    Edit- I'm not 100% sure these will work in the LFR. I do know that my OFR bar works in my LFR, so I'm assuming it would work.

        I just stuff the inside of the collar with a thin strip of foam. Works perfect, and is easily repeatable if the foam wears thin.

          That seems to be a common issue with Floyds. I have a USA Charvel with an Original Floyd and a Promod and they both do the same thing. I've even had the bar fall completely off during a live performance. Believe me, looking for a black bar on a dark stage in the middle of a set is not fun.. or easy.

            I ordered the Floyd Rose replacement arm/collar combo from the link above. No more issues for me. It is a Schaller branded product.

                    This is 4+ years later I'm writing this but I've been searching everywhere for a replacement trem arm for mine! Do you know which trem arm you bought from stewmac?

                    Thank you in advance!
