Fender Parts Trem Arm wt/TIP Sq Affinity - White

Says it fits Squire Affinity Strats ‘05-present, that’s why I ordered it. It does not fit my ‘13 Squire Affinity Strat made in Indonesia. Threads are too small. My fault for not researching better. Still giving five stars though. Even though this product was not offered through Amazon Prime, it was processed, shipped, and arrived super quick (quicker than some other AP orders I have made). Even though this item didn’t work for me, I was impressed with the quality of the item itself. Return/refund was a snap.

Description says this is for all Squire Stratocasters. I have a Squire Strat by Fender with HSS configuration, and this is too small. Goes right in the hole and right back out with no thread engagement. You will need to check this before ordering if you have HSS pickup configuration. This was so cheap I didn't bother sending it back.

Fit perfectly on my 2 Fender Squire bridges (China and Taiwan). Seems decent quality as far as whammy bars go. Bends bridge like I want. Glad I could pick up a new one after losing the old one.

Gave four stars because the white tip looks extremely cheap and cannot be removed. I sanded the mold lines anway on the top and then the rest of the tip making it more flat looking,it should yellow much quicker too doing this. It’ll be awesome looking once it starts to go yellow/off white. Most importantly though is that it fits and sits at a normal ,standard height and tightens in the right places so it won’t swing. At this price i definitely recommend!

Description said it would fit. It did not. It was too small. My brand new 24 Olympic White, with gold pickguard, and maple neck Fender Affinity Strat takes a 6mm. Figured it out after purchasing this, thinking this one would work because the description, at the time of purchase, said it would.The tremolo was in perfect condition and deserves five stars for that, but the description needs to be changed to reflect the new models may not use this size.Unfortunately, when Hubs bought the guitar at Guitar Center (60 miles away) the clerk refused to go get the box for it, which would have had the tremolo in it. Or, at least, it was supposed to come with the guitar.AND then the Fender site did not say what size it was supposed to be when I looked up the product description for my Affinity. That is why I ordered this one.If you know Fender like we do, well… They aren’t exactly known for their consistency. Can even change parts in the middle of a model year. And have been known to mix them up based on country of origin too.By the way, the Affinity guitar I bought is the best cheap Fender I have ever handled. And the price was ridiculously cheap. $249.Nice neck. Nice paint. Good quality overall. So nice I threw on some Hot Noiseless Strat pickups. The same ones on the Jeff Beck Fender. Amazon actually has them too. They are the ones with Noiseless written in cursive. Not the vintage. The Hot Noiseless. 😁 wow! Best sounding Fender we have now. Not thin at all.The 6mm tremolo I got later, works great and doesn’t even put this guitar out of tune because the bridge was installed properly.If in doubt, and if you have a caliper for measuring, use it to figure out the size of the hole where the tremolo screws in. You can get a rough idea which one will work on your fender. 😁I did not think of that until after getting this one. Assumed it would fit.Amazon was cool and refunded me. The description was wrong.But the description came straight from Fender, I also found this out later after doing more research. Isn’t hindsight great?Hope this helps you find the right tremolo.Play on!

Because this item was marked ‘Frequently Returned.’ I had low expectations before buying. But after receiving the item today I am extremely pleasantly surprised. This tremolo bar is made very well. The plastic white end piece is secured extremely well to the bar with no chance of ever coming off. The chrome on the bar is done very well, and the threads secure the bar tight to the tremolo block.If you’re looking for a new whammy bar that has 10/32 threads. Then this bar is for you.Would I buy this item again? Would I recommend this tremolo bar to everyone?? Absolutely, yes!– J

The tip is bright white. I did the coffee hack to no avail. I did a bit of a rough sanding and tried coffee again. Worked pretty well. The grain from sanding gives a bit of a wood look but yellowed nicely.

Thread size is .17" which is 11/64". Not 10/32". So it was to small for my tremolo. Looks like a decent tremolo arm for that thread size though.
