Will an original Floyd Rose replace 1990's soloist professional bridge easily?

The FRII or the Schaller speedloader, which ever you wanna call it, is the exact same thing as a regular Schaller aside from the non-locking saddles. The baseplate, hardware and sustain block are all identical.

Hey if it helps the original poster at all, the original floyd WILL retro fit a JT-590(aka floyd rose II). The only problem holding you back is the long string lock screws on the original floyd. I emailed Adam who runs floydupgrades.com for a request, he said he's heard alot of requests for shortened OFR string lock screws and that he will try to make some for the summer. I need some too since I recently got a 90s Pro soloists too. So just check back at Adam's site and hopefully he'll have them for the summer

I think I said that already. Check post #2

That's some good info. That's one of those "Why hasn't someone done this earlier?" things.

You still have to deal with the fact that the saddles are in a different position on each trem which might be ok if you have enough intonation room.
