Hello all, I'm new here and recently bought my first Custom S guitar secondhand from a guitar center. When I picked up the guitar, I noticed the allen screw meant to keep the tremolo arm in place was missing and nowhere to found so now it's always moving or popping out if I lean over which is really annoying. Anyone know the size of this screw or where I could potentially get one? Obviously with the FR 1500 being exclusive and all I can't find anything else on this anywhere...

the item you're looking for is called a grub screw btw

just measured mine and Allen size is 5/64" inch
length of grub screw is 1/8" inch

I don't have a way to measure thread pitch which is crucial if you want to get the right one that fits the fr 1500, that's why i suggested just replacing the whole trem arm part with a new one

or try and buy this if it fits https://www.floydrose.com/products/push-in-rail-tail-set-screw (i think it's the one but not 100%, maybe 95%)
