Danelectro Silvertone Guitar 1452 Tremolo Vibrato Arm Reproduction

Description: I've bought and sold lots of vintage Danelectro guitars over the years and many of the vibrato equipped models have been missing the arm. The Danelectro parts dept will not answer their phone ever, so I decided to make my own. These are pretty darn good replicas and I've sold probably close to a hundred or so over the years. I'm getting better using my metal-working tools so the latest versions are a little less cobby than some of the early ones but a Danelectro is an exercise in imprecision so my new vibrato arms look just right. I have one original Dano bar that I use as a template so I have an accurate model. The originals are chromed steel, mine are a higher quality steel that is close to stainless but are not chromed. If you have acidic sweat and/or don't wipe clean your guitar after playing these will show surface rust. A couple of quick passes with a fine Scotchbrite pad will bring them back to a clean appearance. They are all hand finished so you will occasionally see scratches or fingerprints or file marks and other artifacts of the bending and cutting and drilling and polishing. When you purchase one of my bars you will get the correct hardware (that means a bevel head screw, nylon washers and nylon locking nut, as well as a reference photo to help the installation) to attach it to your 1452, 1450, 1451, 4011, 4021, Coral Hornet, etc... This bar will work on any of these original Neptune New Jersey produced Danelectro/Silvertone/Coral models but I have sold a few to owners of some of the newer Danelectros and they were able to make them work there too. A screwdriver and 3/8" wrench are all that is needed to install these. The steel is malleable enough to allow them to be bent differently if needed, if you have a vice or way to hold them you can raise or lower the angle of the bar easily.
