Spectrum DX Bendmaster Trem

Very long time since I have been here, just bought my second Westone, a Spectrum DX a brother for Kitty my Spectrum ST I bought as a second owner in about 1988.

Anyhoo, thought I would share this innovative approach to blocking a trem I discovered when I opened the trem cavity.


The guitar is missing a wanger bar, it has the nut that goes missing but not the wanger bar, it's also missing a string clamp. The site description says these are available NOS. Is that so? Where can I get one from. It shouldn't be too hard to fabricate, but if I can get one from a shop, that is much easier.

That trem block is hilarious!

The trem bar is an easy replacement, get a 6mm dia. ("import" size) from your favourite merchant.

Locking plates are another story. They are chronically missing from many guitars. Unfortunately they are proprietay items and not available from any shop!

There was a small supply available here recently but they may all be gone by now.
Contact our Sgt. Vimes for the status.

Yep... Pete's got some and so do I; PM either of us and we'll get a set to you.
