WTB - Trem arm for Washburn 600s Floyd Rose (long shot)

[tab]

So this licensed FR bridge is out of production and I'd like to get a tremolo arm for it. Apparently it's a strange arm and not just any FR trem arm will fit.


If you have an old 600s and want to sell the arm LMK -
I could use a fine tuning screw as well (I'm sure these are standard issue...)

Thanks!

dude, wish I could help. I have that arm in a 600s that's in use on my Washburn N2. it is a bit of a funky arm and I wish a regular FR arm would work in it.


but I do know a guy that makes brass sustain block upgrades for the 600s. you can find him as 'guitarupgrades' on ebay. he made one for me and it's awesome.

It's strange that they wouldn't use a standard part...
I'll put the trem block on the list - I've upgraded some strat blocks and it helps for sure.

yep. it's a funky bridge, for certain. once I replaced stock pups the guitar has always given me a good tone, so I don't want to mess with the mojo by trying to swap the bridge.

but here's a photo of the brass sustain block... look past the trem-stop, as I'm using it for a D-Tuna and still getting past the feeling of betrayal for not having a full-floating bridge. lol!

I got lucky and found an entire 600s bridge with tremolo arm for cheap.
I'm good for all the current parts I need, plus I'll have more if needed in the future.

very cool. didn't even know they stopped making them, so that's good news.
