I just purchased an ASAT Classic S in the Honey Ale finish. This guitar has blown me away in ease of playing the clarity of the pickups and the seven settings. The one setting that standout is all three pickups at once what a tone. I couldn’t be happier or so I thought.
I went into GC to look for a Strat that would give me the same seven setting and no such luck. But in the used section was this beautiful G&L Legacy in Apple Candy Red with matching headstock S/N CFL30502. This is better than any start I have owned or played. However having bought it used I need a vibrato Arm the Nylon Bushing and Set Screw. I have tried to find out what year it is so could acquire the proper parts for it. I really do not want to take the neck off everything is lined up so well not that i’m skittish about it Ihave been doing my own setups and repairs as well as for others.
If someone could help me with the dating and finding the Nylon Bushings I would appreciate it. I found the Vibrato Arms and set screws in the store but don’t know which ones to order.

I so I orderd then current style before I saw this what a mess up on my part.
Will the early style be abetter fit because the vibrato aren wiggles around in the socked.
I did not have a vibrato arm with the Legacy becuae I bought it used and it is in pristine condition and the case as well . But no vibrato or build sheet came with it.
I appreciate your help and just left a message in your voice mail. I have been trying to find instruction on how to install the nylon bushing and I will continue to search the board.
Have a blessed week.

Yes, the vibrato arm you need is the early style. This arm diameter is approximately 0.25" or 6.35mm. The newer style arm diameter is approximately 0.23" or 5.84mm.
To insert the nylon bushing, you just need to remove the allen set screw from the side of the arm socket and insert the nylon bushing into the screw hole. I put the vibrato arm
into the socket and then use a small jeweler's screwdriver to help push the bushing down into the hole. Finally, screw in the allen set screw until the vibrato arm is at the right
tension, so that it does not wobble or swing, but can be removed and re-inserted without loosening or tightening the set screw.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help now to return the current style Vibrato Arm in exchange for an early one. I have been through the store sight several times and haven't been able to find instruction on how to do it.
