Hi, I've owned my Legacy for many years now but a loooonnnng time ago I lost track of the tremolo arm. Really didn't consider it a big deal at the time as I (when a young, dumb teenager) figured I didn't need it anyway. I know, dumb. Anyway I have recently decided I'd like to go ahead and replace it. I've looked on G&L's website and found which one I need , mine is from 1992 I think. My question though is about the little screw used to hold it in and apparently adjust the tension? I didn't even know it did that.. I don't have that either. And G&L's website doesn't make it clear to me if that little guy will come with the bar when I order it. Anybody have experience with this?
Thanks!

Re: Lost tremolo arm
The replacement trem arm does not include the tension set screw and nylon bushing, you will need to order them separately.dkpowerchord wrote:Hi, I've owned my Legacy for many years now but a loooonnnng time ago I lost track of the tremolo arm.

Here's the link to them in the G&L Online Store: Trem Arm Tension Screw Set.
There are two different thread types. You will want to order the Tension Scew Set (pre-2005).
Hope this helps.

Re: Lost tremolo arm
Hey thanks! I actually never thought to look at the rest of the products in that section to see if they sold the screws too. So, why are there 6 of them? Is that in case you lose one? And is the nylon bushing the little piece of plastic that also goes in there?
I know I should probably know all this but I just want to make sure it's all gonna be there and I don't have to hunt around for extra parts.
