Did you look HERE? ..... NOT .....You may have to order it by part number through a dealer. If you're not sure which one it is, contact Fender support with your serial number and ask.

That was a mighty rude reply, Tiednbound. Not to mention ignorant. As the OP has found out, these tremolo bars are exceeding rare, and selling for over $200 on ebay if you can even find one. I've been searching extensively, which led me (unfortunately) to your less-than-helpful post. Fender has not produced them for years.

would probably be cheaper to just go ahead and upgrade your whole tremolo system actually. get you a nice wilkinson or something.

+1...no whammy bar is worth $200 IMO.
As to the original question, places like Ebay and CragsList would be good places to start if you're dead set on just finding the bar itself.
