Floyd Rose replacement and parts, etc.
I have a Charvel (Korean) CX 692 H/S/S and the crappy pot metal on the Double Locking Vibrato/tremolo cracked right across and the tremolo block. I found out this is a JT 280 (WB2 Whammy Bar 2, how original) Wilkinson made tremolo/vibrato. See Pix for guitar, nice Royal Blue. I really like how, this plays and want to repair or upgrade.
I want to find out if anyone has replaced it for a half decent block and were did they get the parts. Or even better, has anyone swapped out this cheap crap and put in a Schaller or a better Floyd Rose. If you have, what will fit without, extra routering. Jt 500,580,590 or what ever.
My opening is 3 1/2" x 2". The old block has JINAH imbossed in bottom metal between string holes. Block size 3 1/2" x 1 5/8". I believe it is 2 13/16" stud to stud and I think its 32 mm. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate. Thnx Chris
