Hi Frank and Julian I was not stating a preference but a alternative in who to go to for it I'm sure both are superior better than the originals supplied by Fender. What did interest me was how the sound given out would be altered by changing the block from what would be deemed a dull metal to a sharp steel .This can only be achieved by using only a pure metal without and impurities to this effect,also that all these blocks are bushed one with a delrin bush and others using a plastic insert to this effect which takes out the slack and keeps it firmer. Releasing the pressure on the arm and block threads When watching HBM is trem arm seems to work and stay just were he wants it to be.Cause i suppose he would have the dogs bo---cks of a guitar looked after by a army of guitar technicians. Right back to practicing "The Miracle" Pete

Having read up on the Callaham Trem Block I am really impressed.Made of cold rolled steel with a Delrin Bush which takes all the pressure of the threads (which I think is where the fault lies with the ones installed in the mex and Squier guitars) also on there web site they(quote) guarantee you will hear a sustainable difference in sound clarity . It is just a pity these are not fitted as standard but like what as been said by Julian. Fender do not listen to there customers and just do it there way (shame) ;D Right back to learning "The Miracle" I think I need one to get it done. Pete Looked on The johnnyguitarfirstavenue site as Frank recommended and its as he said. So all in all its solvable it's just a matter of cost.Thanks all for the info.

Thank you all for your replies to this on going problem with the loose trem arm. It gives me not only a number of options and well as the cost and leads to follow up on it's really good of you all. I would like to add if this is a manufacturing fault why then don't the manufacturers realize this and alter the specifications accordingly? or is it all down to costs i'm sure if enough feed back was sent to them they might feel obliged to do something about this.It seems like having to pay twice for the Tremolo block to get it to work properly. ;D Your comments and thoughts will be appreciated Many Thanks to you all its good to have such a collection of members on this site willing to help and advise So I say Cheers to you all. Pete

Thanks Gary Jimbo and Shadoogie Gary i to have a mex american standard strat was wondering what the cost of a new block against the springs but as you say the springs are not a proper fix' Jimbo thanks for the posting I think I will get some. I notice you on a You Tube video playing drums with a band called Bungleflint at the Warwick Shadows Club some talent hey. Shadoogie like you I to have a Squier classic vibes 50's (not red but white) so that stops that then if the hole goes right through. Once again gents thank you its amazing how helpful the members on this site are Best Regards Pete

As a big fan of the late Jet Harris having seen him perform a number of times over the years some times solo, the last time at Cheltenham Town Hall With Marty Wilde in Oct 2010 I was wondering if anyone has, or knows how to get the tabbing for Theme From Something Really Important.I know this was originally a Duane Eddy number and Jet would always mention this in is shows saying why did he play it as the b------d never played any of is tunes,also would recommend any jet fan to buy is dvd From there to here well worth watching.
