I am still a newbie to Fly guitars so apologies if this question has been asked before. I did do a search but couldn't find the answer.
Does the round vibrato arm fit all models that use a round fitting or are there different arms for different models?
P38 round vibrato arm.
Re: P38 round vibrato arm.
@Jack G, the P38 uses a Wilkinson VS50P Powerbridge with Fishman saddles; and *appears* to use a different diameter trem arm from the Parker trem you see on the more expensive models. Hopefully someone in the know will chime in to confirm.

As far as "different models", the only four trem arms I'm aware of Parker using over the years are
-Prerefined hex arm (circa 1994-2003ish),
-Refined round arm (2003-2015),
-Floyd Rose (roughly 2011-2015 on the Vernon Reid and Adam D sigs, custom shop orders, and certain non-flagship/import models in the final years of production),
-Wilkinson VS50P Powerbridge (Which I *think* was used only on the P38 during its production in the '00s as one of several cost-cutting measures Ken implemented in the course of USM taking over the brand).
