You can also use an Ibanez Edge arm with no problems.

Me neither, but an Ibanez Edge arm is probably a lot easier to get your hands on than a JT-6 arm.

About 10 years ago, I bought a used Charvel with a JT-6 and a black trem bar. I asked the woman who sold it to me if it was the original bar, and she told me that she had lost the original silver one so she had replaced it with the black Ibanez bar. Works like a charm to this day.

Just trying to help you out, man...

Yeah. Back when I bought my Model 3 in '92 it was missing the bar, so I went to a guitar store and asked if they had anything that might fit and they sold me a "Sure Grip" style Ibanez bar. Nearly ten years later I picked up my Model 5A and it too was missing the bar (Where are they all? It's like the Douglas Adams thing about the Biros[1]), so I bought another Ibanez Sure Grip. Now when I see a Model series with the original style bar it looks wrong to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Anyhow, the Ibanez bars are a little too loose. Doesn't matter how you adjust the collar they are lways swinging in the breeze.

Semi off-topic, but I think the best thing you can do for a JT-6 (besides replace it with an OFR) is to pick up a collared OFR or Schaller bar & socket kit for about $15 and replace the spindly, sloppy JT-6 bar. It's really easy to do. You just need to enlarge the hole in the baseplate slightly by filing or scraping carefully w/ a large flat-blade screwdriver. The metal is really soft. Takes about 5 minutes to do & you end up with a much better (imo), solid feeling bar with no slop.
