Tremolo arm for Synclair

    Hi, my first post here. Hello!

    I have an older M II with the ESP Synclair vibrato, with of course no trem arm.  I know how hard these are to find, been looking, no luck. I want to keep this babe original, so not interested in installing an FR, etc.

    QUERY:  has anyone found an aftermarket replacement arm--or any arm--that will fit it?  StewMac  has a threaded 6mm arm, and I was wondering if anyone has tried it:  Sorry, cannot post links yet.

    I also have made an inquiry to fretsonthenet, waiting to hear back. I searched back posts but found nothing helpful.

    Thanks!
    Brash

    Well, Dave does NOT make an arm for this particular Synclair trem. Dang.

      If it is a non recessed bridge you can replace it with an original floyd,

        I'd kind of like to stay original, but may have to switch...

            I have not.  Somewhere I recently saw an entire Sinclair trem with arm for $260, but too rich for my blood.  The only solution for an arm is to have one made by a machine shop.  Since that will be expensive, would need to make a batch and sell them, and I think they would sell -- lots of these units out there.
