Two different trem arms?

[kimonostereo]

Sorry if this has been discussed before but I was wondering if anyone else noticed this:
When I got my black Luke 2 in 2004, I think it might have come with two different trem arms. I only noticed this after it came back from the factory after getting a new neck though. In other words, I'm not even sure there were two arms included with the guitar.

The two trem arms have different angles. One is angled up more than the other. I prefer the one that isn't angled up as much.

When I got my recent Dargie II Luke, it came with only one trem arm, so that made me think about it. Maybe I got a modified / different trem when my guitar went into the factory... OR maybe EBMM only supplies one trem arm with the Luke now.

Anyone else have two different trem arms?

I have noticed shorter trem arm on Axis Sport (97) but my ASS (00), Silo Special (02) and Luke (07) had the same arm

I had this issue with my JP's, http://www.ernieball.com/forums/music-man-guitars/38718-tremolo-bar-differences.html. One arm was angled up far more than the other. They also had different shapes at the end you insert, one was round, the other had a sharp point.

In the end I asked AJ if I could have a new bar, which of course he sent no problem, but I also adjusted the angle by wrapping it in a towel and then clamping it in a vice and hanging from it (thanks Jack).

Have the same with the trem arms on my Lukes. Emailed CS and Nathan said this:

'From what I understand, both tremolos on your guitars are working perfectly -the main difference is in the arm angle. Unfortunately, sometimes unnoticed by us, the steel arms are bent differently on different shipments. It is not unusual.'

Thanks for the followups on that!
