Huh? My vibrato is working fine… but I don’t really like the design of the arm - it’s too long. Very hard to do Jeff Beck type whammy stuff that is easy to do on a Strat.Big Swifty wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 2:46 am Nice work @Paul Marossy !
But do tell...what's your problem with the vibrato?

Re: My Coil Tap Mod for Three More Sounds
I bought a short arm on Ebay or somewhere like that some years back. Perfect! Deeper bends, more easily handled.Paul Marossy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 5:14 amHuh?

Paul you're such a tinkerer - just chop off the excess!

Re: My Coil Tap Mod for Three More Sounds
Well I don't want to chop down an original one... I suppose I could track down a hex wench of the appropriate size and chop it down? You might've got yours from the Parker Guitars forum member called "908 SSP"? I remember he was making those back in the day... I think he was selling them on ebay too.Patzag wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 8:37 amI bought a short arm on Ebay or somewhere like that some years back. Perfect!

I remember Alex well, but it was not him. I just don't remember who. I bought a set of three. Short, medium and long. I only use the short.Paul Marossy wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 10:44 am Well I don't want to chop down an original one...

How much shorter is that medium one compared to the original Parker one?Patzag wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 11:33 amI remember Alex well, but it was not him. I just don't remember who.

I bought 2 short ones: one hex and one round for refined.
I also bought a regular sized Hex because my classic came without bar.
So what I have left is a bunch of refined whammy bars, 3 long and one short, and one long hex.
