My trem broke...arrrg

Ok, the trem on my old Ibanez XV500 broke this morning. My question is, where in the wide, wide world of sports(sorry, just watched "Blazing Saddles") can I find another one to replace it? I would like to keep it as original as possible since it is in really good shape. I use this guitar a lot for recording and I would like to find a solution asap. Any suggestions on what I might be able to do if I can't find an exact replacement?

Thanks.

That's got the big old 'Pro Rock'R' trem on it, right?

We might have 'most'(base, saddles, no fine tuners I think) of one at the shop I work in.. Let me check tomorrow, and I'll let you know.. It's gonna be chrome, though...

Hey, I never said we had a stock-pile..

I see weird things every now and then, and I might have *1* in a bin at the shop.. Though, I'll keep my eyes open for more, now that there's a market.. Half the parts we have are from getting a guitar in trade that's so messed up it's better off parting out..

That would be so cool! To be exact, the low E saddle broke.

Donnie,
you can also take a look on Ebay: there are some now &amp; then for a few bucks...

Okay, we have one, chrome and in good+ condition, looks like no wear on the plating.. It's a whole trem(minus two fine tuners), but should be no trouble parting it out for whatever you need..

Just hit the store's website: www.almostmusic.com and shoot out an email to my boss.. You can mention the guitar tech sent you.. I'll be at work tomorrow, so I can make sure they get it right..

BTW, want a set of the odd-ball 'round-cut' posts for these? I used to have a PR1660 with the 'Pro RockR' on it, and still have the slightly used posts laying around.. If you want them, you can have them, they're just taking up space here..
