StewMac has them for around $15 usd

I'm in Euro-land so ordering frmo Stew Mac might cost me a bit in postage.

If it takes an OFR arm though maybe a Schaller will work out?

Yep.

Congrats on the Fusion HH. I have minty trans cherry mahogany one with the Jackson case. Hardly ever played. I wish the neck wasn`t so skinny, but that was the Fusions thing, even the USA ones. The stock bridge humbucker needs some more punch and maybe some more high/mids and highs. A little muddy. I was thinking of changing mine out or even selling the guitar or trading it for another short scale guitar with a thicker neck. I hope you love yours man!!

Weeks down the line my assessment is:
* it's a cool guitar
* the trem is a mess and doesn't return to pitch (like most of my 580s to tell the truth) so it's getting blocked off
* down tuning to drop-C is not working for me on "short scale" guitars any more so I'm putting 10s on it and tuning E-E from now on
* I'm glad I bought it

I honestly do not know what the deal with 580s is though. Every single one I have is problematic. My 2nd Dinky Rev that I bought off someone used does not have a 580 on it because the previous owner threw his in the trash due to it being junk.

I agree about drop C not working great on my Fusion. I can't get the Low C to intimate properly. I'm getting a JDR for this reason. I want to tune the Fusion back to E so I can practice some Megadeth leads.
