Members Moveable Beast Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 I'm moving my American Standard 2-point trem to a new guitar body, but the new body doesn't have the wood anchors for the pivot screws. Anyone have an idea of where I can get these? I've checked Allparts and Stewmac but neither had them. I can't find a place to e-mail on the Fender site or I'd have asked them.

Members Moveable Beast Posted November 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Bower, I'll give you $10 shipped for the wood anchors. If you want to sell everything as a set, I'll give you $25 shipped, as I have no idea what I'd do with the rest of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Prages Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Are you going to be using the old body? If not, you could probably get the studs out with a little inginuity. All you'd really need is a about 1/2" thick block of wood with a hole through the middle big enough for the stud to go through, a bolt with the same thread size as the studs that's long enough to go through the wood and at least 1/2 way into the studs, and a large washer. Put the washer on the bolt, put the bolt through the wood, and then screw it in. The studs should pop out pretty easily. I wouldn't do that if you're planning on selling or using the body for something else though, because it's possible that the studs would chip out the wood, or at least the finish around them.

Members Moveable Beast Posted November 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Prages, thanks, I appreciate the reply. I am going to sell the body. It's really nice, a three color sunburst American Deluxe from 1999, and I'd hate to leave the new owner in the situation I'm in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dougy Posted November 1, 2005 Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 I did pretty much the same with some Floyd Rose pivot studs - I've got an old pair of worn out posts that I screw into the studs and then just pull them out with a clawhammer or pliers. Failing that, buy a new pair off ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Moveable Beast Posted November 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 You guys make a convincing argument. We'll see if I have the guts to follow your advice. And I'd still hate to put someone else through this, but at least I could tell myself the next guy to own the body will know what he's getting in for.

Members Moveable Beast Posted November 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted November 1, 2005 Oh, and as far as the price, a dealer gave me the list price ($2.50 a piece) and the Fender part number (28958), but they were backordered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
