Also, does anyone know what kind of trem I have? It looks like an OFR, but it doesn't have the small tuners on the top. Any help?

Thats a JT-6, it was the standard Jackson floyd for the late 80's.Originally posted by chvl_91 View PostComment

If "knobs" = fine tuners: they are still there. They are just mounted on the end of the string lock bolts. I would take the OFR over the JT-6 any day, but basically they are the same - they are double locking floating bridges.Comment

So I'm guessing that the OFR is much better.My Main Rig:

I'm willing to bet a lot of people consider the Original Floyd Rose the best bridge of its type. There are a lot of licensed copies of it, some of the good and some of them not.Originally posted by chvl_91 View PostComment

Is this a good one? I'm guessing because it hasn't caused me any trouble yet.

It is a good trem but the real Floyd and its Schaller counterpart are much better.The JT-6 is made of out cheaper steel and not as well built IMO.Mike

I think that pretty much sums it up. I guess it boils down to the quality of the materials used.Originally posted by Model 88 View PostComment

Yeah, because I've played a guitar with an OFR and it was just as stable as my JT-6.My Main Rig:

Hi guys I'm new here and have a querry, I though rather than starting a new thread this would be the best place to ask this.
I have the same guitar except a different colour (purply like colour), the bridge has been modified to have a screw (as shown in last picture) and the nut is different. I was just wondering how much I could get for one, it is in good condition and has been looked after well. I just want to make it clear now I am not trying to sell it here. I would just like to know what kind of price I'm looking at with one of these. I'd thought I'd ask because you seem to know your stuff with this

Thats the JT6 trem also. The nut is correct. Ifthe screw your reffering too is the mounting for the tremarm. That has been replaced to a SChaller/Floyd arm bushing. It's a common upgrade and more stable a fitting then the pop in one. and probably about 3-400 US
