You are the experts. I'm replacing the JT-6 tremolo on my Charvel model 6, do I get the Floyd Rose Original Tremolo, or the Floyd Rose Low Pro Tremolo. I don't want to get the wrong one, thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got a Gotoh on mine, and I like it better than the OFR!

Hey Sanctuary-
What is the length of the sustain block on your Gotoh? Is it 37mm?Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -RsmackerComment

Thanks!
Sorry for hijacking your thread, SGplayer, but I want to know, because I had attempted to put an OFR on my model 3A a few months ago. The sustain block on the JT-6 was 42mm, so I bought an OFR with a 42mm sustain block, which was too long. As my local guitar shops didn't have any 37mm blocks in stock, I ended up returning the OFR altogether.Until you get weaned off the boobie, you are going to have to do what the wife wants too. -RsmackerComment

You need the original, or even the Schaller kind will work, but NOT the Low Pro. The Low Pro requires a deep route for the trem, and the Model 6 doesn't have any kind of route since they were top-mounted. And for block size on the OFR, the 42 mm block works for the Model 6.Originally posted by SGplayer
The later Model 650XL which came with a Charvel-branded Schaller actually had a little shorter block, 37 mm (at least mine did), which worked due to how they routed the spring cavity area."Your work is ingenius…it’s quality work….and there are simply too many notes…that’s all, just cut a few, and it’ll be perfect."Comment

Interesting, just like Dana, I have a 42mm on my Model 6, Model 5a, and both 750's as well. Just thought I'd add a little "food for thought here!Dave ->
