What is this part called?

[emperor_black]

...the one on which the whammy screws on. A couple of threads are broken.

Trem collar? I got one like that too

[VitaminG]

that, son, is what they call a "doo-hickey".

It should still work fine like that, but you can buy a new bar with that assembly housing. I've never seen them sold separately.

Cool! Thanks Joe. Actually, I asked the salesperson the same question but she never got back to me. :think:

Got one with a bar, Schaller brand for $11.00 dollars at local guitar shop last week.

Stew-Mac has them as well.

That was the link I posted.

That was the link I posted.

I heard Stewmac.com has them, too.

Buncha other doohickeys as well.

I think the threaded part is called a trem collet, didn't have time to try to find links for you. I figured with reasonable pricing on the arm and collet, you'd prolly be good!

Thanks! I ordered the "doo-hickey" from stew macky.

ProRockGear.com has the socket listed separately, but they're out of stock:

That's the only place I've ever seen them without a bar, and I'm wondering if they're just splitting up arm/socket sets or parting out whole trems. In a thread about loose trem bars awhile back, Zerberus (who used to work at Schaller) said that the way they are manufactured, they are supposed to stay together as a matched set in order to have the least amount of play.

That's a great find. Thanks man! Anyway, everyone interested in the guitar asks for a whammy and I think my 3 yr old has lost the only whammy bar I had. Buying as a set works for me.
