Once the tremolo arm is installed, it fits nice and tight, however, it badly detunes the guitar, and the range of motion is very limited.
Is it a screw-in arm ? Our suspicion at this stage is that it's the Classic Player trem on the Vintera's.
Did you do the usual set up on the trem spring ?

Hi timtam – thanks so much for this link! I never came across it. Reading the Staytrem website, it is noted that on Classic Players Fender have used both sizes at different times during production. I hope it's the 10mm though – if not, I'll just spare it for a future investment, or give it away, and will follow the instructions on the page you shared. By the way, the trem arm is a screw-in arm.
It should be mid-next week when I finally will have the time and the tools to upgrade my Jazzmaster – there's so much work now that when I have the time, I'd rather just play it the way it is.
