codamedia Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I just picked up a used 2014 (W1404) JTV 69... excellent condition, everything works great. As with many used guitars, the trem bar is lost in action. I don't use trem, I tighten down the bridge and call it a day on my Strat style guitars - but I wouldn't mind having one to complete the package. Where can I find one? I understand there are 3 generations of bridge on these guitars... I know I have gen 2 or gen 3. Is the bar the same for each generation or do I need to find a specific one for the generation I have? If they are not available... would our resident Variax expert@psarkissian kindly share the thread specs so I can tap my own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted February 19, 2023 Author Share Posted February 19, 2023 I found the answer to #2... it looks like I need part # 30-51-0381. But #1 is elusive, I can't find them anywhere - which leads me to believe #3 could be my only option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 30-51-0381 are still available, just don't know about stock levels. Check with Full Compass. Regarding the thread specs, I have no info on specs for the arm thread or the screw it locks unto at the bottom of the tremolo arm shaft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
