Have the SE Trem Bars Changed Since 2017?

[Stephen Sadlier]

I need to new Trem bar for my 2017 SE Custom 24. The old one did not have a plastic tip. New new ones have a plastic tip and it seems too big for my guitar. I already loosened the tiny screw with the allen wrench. If the bars have changed, can I still get an old one online or does anyone know what I need to look for when finding a compatible generic bar online? Thanks

Why not just get a black plastic tip and slide it on?
I got one on eBay back in 2017 for about $4

I just re-read your post, and I think I probably misunderstood what you were asking (thought you you just wanted one with a plastic tip.) Yes, the older trem arms were noticeably thinner. I just measured mine with a digital caliper - 4.5mm diameter is what you want. Not easy to find though. The closest I found that will probably fit is this one - 3/16", which is 4.7mm.
