Shorter tremolo arm

[Torstein]

I'm after a shorter tremolo arm for my Custom 24, "Gilmour length". I see John Mann has one, but the shipping overseas gets a bit expensive. Anyone know of a dealer or maker in Europe that sells something similar?

Thanks!

Why not just cut one down to your preferred length? It's easy enough to remove the trem tip, and then replace it (heat helps).

I’m going to try this. Does the tip unscrew or is it a press fit?

It’s just glued on I believe. Twist it a bit.

If I remember correctly, mine was press-fit. If it’s stubborn, use a hairdryer or heat gun (on low setting) on the plastic tip. Then use a dishcloth or rag to twist it off. Good luck!

What would you guys use to cut one?

Hacksaw would work or a dremel with a metal cutting disk.

To anyone wondering the same, I had no problem using a hacksaw to cut the arm to the right length, and just taking the tip on and off with some plyers.
