I've actually never thought to try a vintage mustang trem arm. That might work, but the reissue ones certainly do not work.

Anybody who owns both guitats with the tremolos willing to check that and maybe take a picture for us?

The Bronco Tremolo is very similiar to the Jaguar tremolo.

They are more different than I thought.
I had previously measured them with a crappy vernier at the arm section and assumed they were the same diameter.

The longer one is Mustang (well Jagstang, but they're the same)

Jagstang/mustang bar

Bronco bar

If i needed to I would buy the Mustang bar and run a 5mm drill down the retainer on the Bronco.

I was told that the usa mustangs were 3/18 across and would fit however the newer mij versions are 5mm ans so wont fit.

If that's a jag-stang bar then it's a reissue bar, we're talking about if a VINTAGE mustang trem bar would fit a bronco trem.
