Looking for tremolo bar and original keys for a Talon III

[iferminm]

Hello everyone!

I bought a Talon III (Fender HMX headstock) last year from eBay, the guitar is GREAT!, it plays super nice, but it came without the tremolo bar and without the original keys, only the guitar.

I was wondering if someone could help me find the right ones or advice me which ones and where to buy. I ordered one generic tremolo bar from Amazon and it didn't fit, I thought they were all standard.

Thank you very much in advance

I bought a tremolo bar kit from Red Bishop for the Floyd Rose trem on my 91 Talon II.
While it's not original, it's the most stable feeling bar I've used. I've installed them on two other Ibanez guitars with no regrets.
They snap in place, but have some sort of "collet" that adjusts the tension whether you like em tight or to swing around freely.

Hope this helps!

Sounds like an interesting discovery!

Yes, this helps, I think I'll get the same one.

Thanks a ton!

Yes, it's an interesting one, but I think I overpaid for it, I saw it on eBay and impulse-bought it for $1200. A few weeks after I saw a lot of Heartfields on Reverb for under $1000.

I'm happy with the guitar and I guess it's all that matters in the end. Gigged it a couple of times (without the tremolo haha) and I've had zero issues, used to switch guitars for a few songs, but now the second guitar is more of a backup in case a string breaks or something.

There were a few different bridges types Fujigen used on the Talons. If your TA-III has a USA made Floyd Rose Pro installed, it's possible the bar kit has imperial dimensions while the generic Amazon bar is probably metric to fit the more common Asian or German made locking trems.

Did you buy the arm by itself or the complete kit with the socket? You might be able to remove the entire old kit and replace it with a metric one from Amazon.

It came with some adapters, probably for different versions.
