Where can I get A Floyd II basplate for my Charvel's JT-500?

[TheZombieRitual]

The intonation threads in my Charvel's JT-500 trem have been stripped since I got it back in October. I was reading this today:http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/TremoloInfoProject.htm, and it said the Floyd II baseplates have hardened steel inserts for the intonatin threads so I want to get one. Anyone know where to find one? I looked on eBay already with no luck. I think I'll just have to suck it up and pay $200 for a Schaller.

My understanding is that the baseplates are hard to get a hold of...HOWEVER there is a link that one of these sneaky SOB's found for JT-590 baseplates that should work fine for you.......Do a thread search, it's in there somewhere. Searching "Schaller baseplate" will probably do it.

Yep! That's it!

That's an OFR baseplate. He needs a Schaller Floyd baseplate. Rockinger has them. Not sure if they'll ship to the US, but if the OP is in Europe, he's in luck.

Considering that the jt-500 isnt the greatest trem, wouldnt it be more cost effective to just replace it with an aftermarket schaller clone or floyd special?

[Sharkfin]

It may be more cost effective to buy a whole new trem. AXcessories has OFR's for decent price. I'm not sure if the OFR posts will be a direct replacement.

Edit:

There's a Black OFR For Sale in the Classifieds

I'm fairly positive an OFR won't fit in the JT-500 route.. Longer lock bolts.

The OFR wont fit in the rout. Look for a JT590, its a Jackson branded Schaller. Or just a straight up Schaller... can usually find them for around $60 give or take.

So, its for a 275 deluxe? It wasnt specified what model guitar so I didnt know that the rout shape was a factor. Didnt that come with a single locking trem? I think if youre just a bedroom player and couch noodler, any of the $50 schaller knockoffs will work just fine. If youre in a serious band or something, then yes get the more expensive trem. I myself could not see dropping $200 into a $200 guitar just to get it back to being worth $200.
