Jaguar Tremolo Arms

Post by loomerz »

Weird question, but I was wondering if the tremolo arms on the Classic player Jaguars are shorter than on the '62 series Jaguars? due to the unit being closer to the bridge. Sounds dumb but yeah.

Yeah its shorter

The closer vibrato plate isn't a bad idea but when I have the bar in, it just gets in the way of my picking hand

Edit: Don't know why I didn't look at the fender site in the first place, but yeah, they look so much shorter.

New question, sorry..

Can anyone explain the like main differences between the two series'? I know that the '62 ones have the different bridge and like a different sunburst haha, but how do they compare soundwise? The Classic Player's are often more expensive :?
