    A Floyd will fit but wont fit the back rout. Either a tackeuchi (aka allparts trs 101) or a lopro Floyd will fit the rout better.

      A schaller floyd should be a direct swap. Post pics

          Did it have anything to do with polishing turds?

              The Performer series used JT-500 trems. The TRS type trems won't fit.
              Basically he needs a JT-590 or Schaller Floyd. They are a direct replacement for the JT-500.

                I had a low pro in mine, it was a ps2 mij. Took it back out after I fixed the taka that was in it and it fit just fine.
                I want to go out nice and peaceful in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and hollering like the passengers in his car.

                  Just went through the old catalogs and I guess it depends on what year it is.
                  Seems some came with JT-500's and some came with JT-580's.

                    If it has a 580 an OFR will fit directly on it. The route will be a little off but if it's a dark finish it isn't that noticable.
