Need info on whammy bar for early SC-3

Post by redblur »

I just got a Mustang-body SC-3 - it has a tremelo bridge, but no bar. Can anyone fill me in on what I need and, ideally, provide a source?

Also, I can find no serial number - can anyone tell me where to find one?

Thanks!

Congrats!
Would love to see some pics.
Check the front lip of the bridge plate. Otherwise it would be on the neck plate.
If it's hard to read try taking a pencil rubbing.
If you can get a bar from ESI ,that'd be as close to an original as there is.

See this post in our G&L Knowledgebase forum, G&L Technical Questions & Tips sub-forum: I need a tremelo arm, do you know where I can get one?.

Hope this helps.
