I ending up purchasing a vintage reissue USA Mustang tremolo off of ebay. Fits perfectly in both my 1967 and 1978 Broncos.

I've compared the Bronco and Japanese Mustang arms before, they're pretty similar, but the Japanese arm is a tiny bit larger in diameter. I would be tempted to use a Japanese Mustang arm and drill out the trem to suit. IIRC the measurements are 1/4" and 6mm (I'll check and edit when I find my ...

Could someone be kind enough to post a pic of your Bronco's arm as well as measurements of it's length and diameter?

Thanks,

never owned a bronco, so I don't actually know, but I don't think there is one? people alway seemed to be pretty excited when they get one w/ the original trem arm. I would think that a nonthreaded Jaguar/Jazzmaster or Mustang tremolo arm would work. The Bronco arm is nonthreaded and held in place ...

No. It's not ever going to be made lefty. Fender will not be putting out anything other than Strats or tele's in left handed for the foreseeable future. I have written them a ton of times about this, and they won't do it. I'm left handed also. I ended up building my own Musicmaster because Fender w...

My silver sparkle Jagmaster is an excellent guitar. It as a two-point trem, which I find to be very good. It's also a long scale, so it's pretty much not much different from an HH Strat. I use it as my main humbucker guitar and the whammy is very usable. Vistas aren't just decent, they're very good...

Huh. So they did use shielding paint on these. Still sounds noisy to me, though. Well, you can see from the pics that it looks pretty thin and will require another coat, but mine was surprisingly quiet right out of the box, even before adding the shielding to the pickguard. Not American strat quiet...

WAIT when did someone make a squier forum? why didn't I do this 10 fucking years ago? Its been there a while, i think its the same people that started the Strat-Talk forum. Im sure there is another as well. The official Fender site also has a Squire forum. Not alot of traffic, but it's there.

Just got an email from MF indicating that my Cyclone has shipped! :D I agree with the above and would love to see a return of the MIM Cyclone II, and maybe if these sell well it will happen. Fender might be testing the winds with this one. :?:

That would be awesome, then we'd have a spare parts for our vintage broncos, but I can't imagine them tooling up to recreate the Bronco tremolo. Can you?
