Hello I'm new to the forum to find some advice on taking care of my newly purchased 1965 Mosrite Guitar. My tremolo arm is loose and am seeking to resolve the issue

Welcome to the forum. The loose tremolo arm is pretty common. When you do your next string change, flip the tremolo arm back and you will see a screw that is adjustable to tighten up the arm. There should be a spacer which helps you from over tightening. If it is missing, I have made new spacers from thin plastic, such as the plastic used on a six pack. It's slippery enough to act like a teflon spacer, so to speak.

Check out the photos in this link. It shows what the vibrato arm looks like from the underside. Scroll down to the bottom.

--Was about to chime in when I saw Sarah's post, *What a woman!* swoon* Love the six pack plastic bit. Thanks!
