[psykofly]

aww yeah...Just got it.Iits been sitting at the post office since tuesday cuz i couldnt get off work in time to scoop it. Finally picked it up today in between jobs. I'm gonna get a new floyd rose with D-tuna for it, and maybe some bare knuckle pups, not sure what kind yet

[etepbbb]

Cool, M5's are the best.

[straycat]

Remember the OFR has a tad wider string spacing so both E strings will be farther out toward the edge of the fingerboard.
Pretty cool as is IMO I have a black 5A and love it.

[psykofly]

I was not aware of the string space difference... Perhaps I will try to find a big brass block for it instead.

[psykofly]

anyone know if another jackson bridge would make a good replacement?..I really want the D-tuna on this one

[Nimitz]

Ohhh that's nice!!!

Congrats Man...

The JT6 is a good bridge if you don't hose it up. Big brass blocks can be found on ebay for it.

I just got done playing my 550XL and my 5FX. The 550XL comes with a Schaller branded FR, and I have an OFR on the 5FX because it came without a bridge and I didn't have a spare JT6.

Thanks guys.

So.....Iin your opinion, does the the OFR string space difference from the jt6 dramatically affect the playability ?

[psykofly]

I'm gonna try a schalller and if I don't like it , I will put it on my Dkmg

I just got it building the 5FX last night. I had forgot about the spacing difference so I wasn't looking out for it. And, I didn't really notice it. Eyeballing the two guitars, the strings appear to be the same distance from either side of the fretboard on both.

No at all.

[straycat]

JT-6 is regular spaced and OFR is Fender spaced what ever the actual dimensions are not sure.
It made a difference to me I hate the top E string to push off the board.
May not bother you, the OFR is a direct fit and you can use the JT-6 studs with no problem.

[psykofly]

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to hook this bad boy up.

[straycat]

5's are pretty awesome.Give us a full review.

[psykofly]

Will do.. OFR, brass block and D-tuna are on the way! I havent decided what I'm gonna do with the electronics yet...ATM its wired with two volume, one tone . I may do one volume, afterburner, then kill switch.ive gotta find a switch that isn't ugly and will fit the hole.

[psykofly]

Alright...I'm done modding this badboy for now. Popped in an OFR with a big 42mm brass block and D-tuna.and I took the EMG het-set and afterburner out of my Dkmg. wired it volume,volume, afterburner. Just finished the setup... cant wait to fire it up
