Russ Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Wondering if any of you folks have some extra stuff lying around...I seek a trem arm for a 96 Mirage II...I'm also thinking about putting a Duncan Antiquity mini humbucker in the bridge position of my Artist Korina P90, thus, I'm looking for the Soapbar sized mini...preferably with a black bezel.Some ebony tuning peg heads would be cool as well, 6 for my Vector, and 6 for my Artist would be sweet.Anybody?
cmatthes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Those trem arms (like Daytona/T-51 cases!) seem to be a bit difficult to track down. The newer (Gotoh) Wilkinson bridges have a slightly wider diameter bar, so can't be used as replacements.A few HFC'ers have had correct gauge bar stock bent into replacement arms, and those seem to work well.
Russ Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Appreciate the info. It's NOT an earth shattering "MUST HAVE" type of thing with me, but one of those "if I find one, sweet"...I'm not one to actually come up with ambition to actually DO stuff...buy stuff, sure...do it, not often...
Craig S Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I'm one of the ones guys who bent some up.... If you can find some 3/16" stainless rod somewhere that works. they are easy to make. My local "Do-it -Best" hardware some had some and I made a couple up. I have some stock left and I might be able to bend a couple more bars, don't know when I'll get to it though(small kids in the house), I also want to keep one in case I get another guitar with a Wilkie...Send me your address and I'll see what I can do. I'm now Hamerless so I'm not on the board much anymore so it might be awhile before I get back on.... I'll try to get you set up.
Russ Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 Sweet!!! I've been trying to PM you my info, but keep getting an SQL error...I'll try again later.Thanks!!!
musicman Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 PRS trem arms are an exact replacement for the Wilkinson VSV style of trems (Daytona, Mirage, Mirage II, etc).I have the Duncan Antiquity II Mini bridge pickup (new - never used and still in box) you are looking for (cream bezel) - if interested contact me.
cmatthes Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 PRS trem arms are an exact replacement for the Wilkinson VSV style of trems (Daytona, Mirage, Mirage II, etc).Really? This is good to know! I'll have to try that tonight...
Russ Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 I appear to have the pickup category taken care of (thanks musicman)...And thanks for the info on the PRS trem. I just happen to have one. Will have to check it out.
Bloozguy Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I have a spare black mini humbucker mounting ring that's yours if you want it. Just email me your address and I'll drop it in the mail in the next few days.Ray
