My Model 6 arrived today and given that it was an ebay deal ($330 BIN) I was expecting a few surprises. Overall it is in good shape with just a bunch of small surface nicks but no real dings or chips. There is some cracking of the clear coat and finish by the nut but still overall a great deal.
The Jackson pickups are stock but the wiring is a mess and the mid-boost has been removed. I will eventually purchase a Schaller or original Floyd and some new pups. I am leaning towards my favorite at the bridge-the Duncan Full Shred and two Hot Rails for the single coils.
This will not happen for a while so my questions are:
-Can the Jackson J-200 single coils still be used without the mid-boost and how will they sound?
-Any real issues with replacing the Jackson tremolo to a Schaller or Floyd? Are the real Floyds worth that huge price increase or will a Schaller or even a Might Mite still be better than that Jackson tremolo?
-Last but not least (and I hope that I am not breaking any forum rules with this) I am missing one of the three black knobs. Any suggestions as to were to buy one?
