mustang trem arm grub screw

Post by Mustang Melx »

I just bought some, they fit my Japanese Mustang, don't know about US/Mex. Top quality stainless steel.

if anyone needs one you can buy them here for 10p each, but the minimum charge for postage seems to be £1.95, so 10 cost me £3, if you want one or two I can let you have them for 30p each (cost to me) + 36p (stamp)

I got the 8mm long ones and they are as good as flush, they use a 2.5mm hex key.

all mustangs since the late '70s/early '80s have been made in japan. with the exception of a handful of custom shop 'stangs.

I now know that that is how my reverb handle is secured in. Thank you for the info.

that's interesting, but the other guitars in the 'classic series' are made in mexico yeah?

I didn't think they would put Japanese guitars on the fender.com website? or do they just make an exception for the Mustangs?

very confusing.

there was someone else that thought the stangs were made in mexico.
its not that confusing really.
fender has factories in japan, china, mexico, u.s.,korea, and i think somewhere else.
and all of them get sold in the u.s. well, besides the cool jap fenders.

yeah, I have no idea why I thought the 65 RI's were mexican, probably because you can buy them everywhere in the UK, where as the '69 RI you can only get from certain places and are always sold as 'Fender Japan imports' and are usually more expensive ....as the classic series strats and tele's are MIM I guess I just presumed the mustangs were too....you learn something new every day. :)

I thought they were Mexican originally, also. The Japanese and Mexican Fenders are brilliant. Really top draw.

The Mexicans are underrated, they're really good quality guitars.
