KAISH K1159 Strat Tremolo Arm, 5.8mm Chrome with Black Tip

The KAISH K1159 tremolo arm has an approximately 5.8mm thread diameter, a chrome finish, and a black tip. It is designed for compatible Strat-style tremolo bridges, giving you a replacement arm for pitch-bending techniques. Fit depends on the bridge’s thread size, so check that measurement before choosing this part. It fits many Squier and Asian-made import Strat models, with specific exclusions noted below.

What stands out

The black tip contrasts with the chrome-finish arm, making the part easy to distinguish on the instrument. Its approximately 5.8mm outer thread diameter is the key detail for matching it to a bridge. That makes this a focused replacement option when you want an arm for an existing compatible tremolo bridge, rather than shopping for a complete bridge assembly.

Compatibility is not universal across Squier and import Strat models. The arm can fit many Squier Strats and Asian-made imports, but verify the bridge’s thread diameter to confirm a match. It does not fit Strat models made in the United States or Mexico. Checking the bridge measurement before ordering helps keep the selection tied to the actual hardware on your guitar.

• Thread outer diameter: About 5.8mm

How to use it

Before ordering, identify the tremolo bridge on your guitar and check its thread diameter against the arm’s approximately 5.8mm measurement. This matters because the product fits many, but not all, Squier and Asian-made import Strat models. Once you have confirmed the match, use the arm with the compatible bridge for tremolo playing and pitch-bending techniques.

If you are replacing a missing arm, matching the thread size is the practical first step, the guitar’s general Strat-style appearance alone does not confirm fit. For a Strat made in the United States or Mexico, choose an arm specified for that instrument instead. Keeping the selection focused on the bridge measurement helps distinguish this part from tremolo arms that use a different thread size.

Buying verdict

The KAISH K1159 is a straightforward choice for players who need a chrome tremolo arm with a black tip for a compatible Strat-style bridge. Its approximately 5.8mm thread size gives you a concrete fit check, while its stated compatibility covers many Squier and Asian-made import Strats. Confirm the bridge measurement before ordering, and this arm can serve as a targeted replacement for tremolo use without requiring a complete bridge purchase.
