♬ 1983 1984 Fender Stratocaster + Elite Vibrato/Tremolo/Whammy Bar ♬ Fender USA 1983 & 1984 Freeflyte Vibrato Bar
Incredibly rare vintage part

Where do all the old vibrato bars disappear to?? Ya got me, but here is a genuine Fender right-handed vibrato (also incorrectly known as a tremolo) bar for the 1983 and 1984 USA Stratocaster and Elite. Made in Germany by Schaller, they will only fit the Fender/Schaller Freeflyte bridge of the 1983 and 1984 Fender USA Stratocaster and Elite models. No other Fender or Schaller vibrato bars will fit that bridge, and they\'ve been out of production for decades.

Condition:
This part is in near-mint condition, with NO scratches, dents, dings, or any other sign of wear at all. I\'ve verified that the bar inserts into the Freeflyte bridge just fine and works normally. As you probably already know, the original, vintage part is nearly impossible to find new or used. Beware of third-party substitutes; I bought one myself and it didn\'t fit right or function well. I guarantee this part to work with your 1983 & 1984 Strat or Elite.

Why buy from me? Some of you might think my descriptions are a little too verbose, but I believe in giving a potential buyer all the information I have about an item - with many high-quality photos to show you EXACTLY what I have to offer. I also pack my items very well with recycled packaging and ship quickly. Unlike that big-name Fender parts seller with the stratospheric prices, or that undependable Gibson parts seller who knows NOTHING about Fender parts, I\'m not a faceless business but a life-long guitarist who can give you the personal touch. Your order won\'t get lost in the crowd.

Thanks for looking



Shipping in the USA: This item will ship via the US Postal Service, First Class Mail.

Shipping out of the USA: This item will ship via the Global Shipping program. Yes, I know they\'re sometimes slow and often expensive, but it\'s the only real option sellers have if you pay with Paypal. Look at the bright side: If it wasn\'t for Global Shipping, I wouldn\'t be able to offer this item to intl. customers at all. Please be patient, and allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.

International Shipping Notes - READ THIS if you are not in the USA!: I will declare the actual sale value for customs - in fact, there is no way for sellers to change the value with global shipping. calculates the duties or taxes your country charges and adds them to the shipping amount. I sympathize with those who pay high taxes and shipping costs, but please don\'t ask for other intl. shipping options if you pay with Paypal - I won\'t respond to such emails. Be aware that some countries will take up to a month to process your imported item, so be patient, or call your country\'s customs dept. instead of mailing me. I have no idea what happens to your package after it leaves the USA. I do not ship to Germany, Italy, Argentina, Venezuela, or any countries with unreliable postal services. Finally, I will not accept returns from outside of the USA for any reason, and by buying this item you accept that condition. If that makes you wary, check my excellent response - much of it from non-USA buyers. Why shipping costs have become more expensive: It\'s not just higher costs from the shipping companies. Thank Fe, for charging sellers a final value fee on shipping (!!), which forces sellers to raise our shipping costs to buyers. This is in addition to recently hiking it\'s seller fees by over 10%! I suggest all users complain about this gouging when they receive their next survey. Unfortunately, there is no way to directly complain to \'s so-called \"customer service\" via email or I would provide their address here.

This item is also for sale locally and on Reverb.com, and this listing may end without notice if it is sold.
So don\'t just \"watch\" it, buy it now!


My return policy and listing terms

It\'s not easy to see when you cruise a listing, but I go through a lot of trouble to honestly describe and picture my items in to (hopefully) make returns unnecessary.

Here\'s my reasonable return and refund policy:

• Please read the listing carefully in its entirety before offerding or buying - people who don\'t are the people who tend to return items.
• You MUST notify me of a problem within 7 days of receipt, get an RMA & return it within 14 days of receipt.
• If the return is due to an obvious fault of mine, I\'ll pay for return shipping. That seems only fair. Otherwise, you pay for return shipping.
• Shipping costs are generally not refundable (I don\'t get that money back either), but I\'m flexible.
  
• Items that shipped for \"free\" will have the actual shipping cost subtracted from their refund.
  
• Buyer must agree to sale cancellation prior to return.
  
• Items sold \"as-is\", mean exactly that: no returns for ANY reason. Most of my items are NOT sold as-is.
• I will not accept returns from outside of the USA for any reason.
• This policy is non-negotiable, and by offerding or buying you agree to it.
• I accept the fact that people make mistakes. Regardless of fault, I\'ll do my best to solve any problems!
  

LISTING TERMS:

Due to a couple of obnoxious non-paying buyers I\'ve had lately (including one who was a complete PSYCHO), I am forced to add these terms to my listings:

• Before you offer, make sure you truly want and are prepared to pay for the item as soon as the sale ends. This is not a lot to ask!
• Payment is required within 24 hours unless previous arrangements have been made.
• If I don\'t receive payment or at least an email from the high buyer within 48 hours, the item will be sold to the second high buyer or relisted.
  
• I will not accept late payments, no matter what \'s self-serving rules may state.
• Shipping costs are not negotiable, except for multiple items shipped together. Email me if you have a question about combined shipping costs for multiple items.
• If you have any questions, please ask them before the listing ends.
• I avoid \'s bogus + corrupt response system. If you want some anyway, leave it for me and I\'ll return the favor.
  
• Those who leave me a negative response or file an complaint without even contacting me to resolve a problem can expect zero support afterwards.
• New users with zero response: please contact me before offerding. If you don\'t your offer may be canceled.
• Please don\'t make me illicit offers to sell off- through ! Although I often sell through another guy\'s site here in Central NJ, I will not respond to any offers made here for items I have for sale on (except for items listed with the \"Best Offer\" option).
• I reserve the right to cancel offers and ignore emails from the mentally disturbed.

Thank you to all my customers who paid their offers promptly. YOUR business is greatly appreciated!
