Hey Adam! Good to see you. Sweet axe! I replace my arms on my FR Specials with the German made arms. Still screw on but hold much tighter. The Specials have a nylon bushing and the German ones have a pin and washer that works so much better. I change out my fine tuners for brass ones too. Smoother tuning.
@@adam5744 I just ordered a pop in arm. I wanted one of these EVH guitars but decided I already had a Ernie Ball Sub Axis and that is the one with the loose spinning arm. Essentially the same guitar and it has a Dimarzio Super Distortion, CTS pots and Gotoh tuners I put in already. $17 is cheaper that $650. lol
Good to see you again! With a little work and some parts you have a cool guitar for the money.
You make all the guitars nice, good to hear you play as always.. sorry about your surgeries. Looks like you’re doing good though. 🎸🧜♀️✨🎶

This one has nylon with a tiny screw on side to adjust tension on arm
@@adam5744 Next time I replace one I might try the pop in.

hopefully your physical problems will heal. anyway, that's a great-looking guitar. aside from the issues you found, $300 seems like a good deal.
Thank you the nerve damage is a problem guitar was a good deal
