I lost the tremolo bar to my Squier a few days ago. It's a real bummer because it took me such a long time to find one that fit. About a year ago I stripped out the tremolo block of the Squier Affinity Strat and that ruined the original block and bar. I realized a replacement block might end up costing me nearly as much the guitar but luckily someone on another forum had a box full of Squier Bullet parts and he let me have a new tremolo block. I hunted to quite a while before I could find a bar that fit. Now that it's lost I have to find another.

I know the block is from a Squier Bullet, but I don't know from what serial number it came or anything like that. And the guy who sent it to me wouldn't know either. I need a new bar soon because of the recording thing coming up as well as several gigs. I don't use it a whole lot, but I miss it when it's not there.

I found these on ebay,

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the difference (if any) there is between those. They both look like they'd fit from what I can see, but it's hard to know without actually trying it out.

find you a screw that fits the threaded part where the bar goes in.
use a tap set to measure the tapper and pitch of the screw.
now take those measurements and go bar shopping.
find a bar with those measurements and your done. very simple.
