Guitar Syn Custom S Tremolo

[BryceR0831]

Hello all, I'm new here and recently bought my first Custom S guitar secondhand from a guitar center. When I picked up the guitar, I noticed the allen screw meant to keep the tremolo arm in place was missing and nowhere to found so now it's always moving or popping out if I lean over which is really annoying. Anyone know the size of this screw or where I could potentially get one? Obviously with the FR 1500 being exclusive and all I can't find anything else on this anywhere...

I'd suggest replacing that part of it with this, you'r egoing to have to remove th efloyd rose from the guitar though.

or get back to guitar center to maybe fix it

the item you're looking for is called a grub screw btw

just measured mine and Allen size is 5/64" inch
length of grub screw is 1/8" inch

I don't have a way to measure thread pitch which is crucial if you want to get the right one that fits the fr 1500, that's why i suggested just replacing the whole trem arm part with a new one

or try and buy this if it fits https://www.floydrose.com/products/push-in-rail-tail-set-screw (i think it's the one but not 100%, maybe 95%)

Update: I no longer have a sad and saggy whammy bar. The screw worked and she's lookin pretty
