Set screws for S500

Post by fenderfan »

Which set of vibrato arm tension set screws would I order for an S500 with the serial number CLF46400?
Thanks!

Thanks!
Measure the diameter of the trem bar. If it measures approximately 0.25" or 6.35mm (1980-mid 2000), then order the Tension Screw Set (pre-2005)*.
*Note: that should really be labeled "pre-2006".
If it measures approximately 0.23" or 5.84mm, then order the Tension Screw Set (Metric).

Hope this helps.
