I have an early 90's Blade that's missing the bar. Anyone know how I could find one or a suitable replacement? It was gold plated along with all the other hardware.
It's been sitting in the original gig bag at my best friend's house back East. I'll ask him to take some pics for posting. Thanks!

If it has a Kahler you can try here:


Also some on Reverb:


If it's not a Kahler we'd need to know what it is.

Here's the rest of the axe. Sorry about the sticker, I was in college when I got it.

Yes check out Whammy Parts online. I ordered the standard arm black right 5362KR and it fit my Blade perfectly. They sell a chrome arm with Gold tip, and you can always get some gold metallic spray paint.

The gold hardware on the Blade is rare, and I’ve only seen it on the black and white bolt on models. @hansmoust are the bolt on Blades a different model then the glued ones?

The bridge is Accutune, a Kahler rip-off made in Korea and used on many Cort manufactured guitars from the mid-late 80’s. They are made from a cheap metal alloy and they tend to warp or crack when overused, as many people did because the dive bomb was the sound at the time! Mostly you will find them locked into the base using the two small hex screws in the bridge frame so that the hinge movement is unusable, acting more like a stop tail. I’ve personally fixed 3 and they are a pain in the ass.

Thanks I just ordered one!
Mine is a white model. Served me well while I was learning lead guitar. Picked it up at Central Music in Brockton, Mass in the early 90's (?).
