Hi,
Just bought a secondhand 2016 Fender FSR Japan Stratocaster in Fiesta Red with Rosewood Board and the term arm is missing, anyone know the thread size?
Thanks
Martin

Japanese Fenders and copies tend to use a 5mm thread on the tremolo arm. 5mm trem arms are readily available at all the usual sources.

Hi Mart,
I bought one of those about two years ago. Great guitars; one of the best I have got. I believe the Japs use the Gotoh vintage trem/bridge.

Tony.

I agree with Tony. I had a Sonic Blue ST62 for nearly 20 years; only sold it the year before last, which I regret as it's the best guitar I've ever had! Now have a Shell Pink ST54 which is almost as good.

Couple of years ago I had, quite briefly, an ST71. I sold that back to the original owner who spotted it on eBay and recognized the grain pattern in the photographs!
