Question Trem Arm

[Sweat]

Anybody have a trem arm on a vintage EBMM bridge get stuck? Like someone took a hammer and pounded it in? If so how did you get it out/fix it?

BTW I already contacted customer service just waning to know if anyone else has had this issue, also lesson learned put a used guitar you buy site unseen through the ringer

I had mine being very very tight to pull. I found that the term plate hole was misaligned with the brass block and was making the arm to wedge. I loosened those 3 screws that attach the plate to the block, aligned the holes better and tightened everything carefully as it tends to shift when tightening. That fixed it. When I say misaligned, it was by very very little, but was enough to “bite” the arm. Not sure if it’s the same, but check it out.

Can't say I've had that happen. There is a screw in the block that keeps the arm in place, but it shouldn't stick it like that.

Thanks, yes it is not the set screw which is for the tightness of the arm swing, I completely removed it, have not heard back from CS, so unusual, thanks for the responses , guess I am going to take it apart, PM if you want to know the worthless seller
