Hello all!

This is my first post here, so I hope I get things right. I used to own a Japanese Stratocaster many years ago, and unfortunately was forced to sell it. Anyway, this isn't a sob story, as I've recently been lucky enough to buy the guitar back after 12 years or so. I can't believe how good it is to be playing again.

I'd love to get more info about my guitar though, and any help would be much appreciated. The serial number is E646255, and from what I can gather this makes it a 1986 Japanese model. However, the problem I have is that the original tremolo arm is now missing, and I'm trying to source a new one. I've enclosed photos to help. There doesn't seem to be much information available on the bridge unit I've got, so I'm not too optimistic about finding one.

Many thanks.

Rick
