Model 2 JT-6 Replacement options

[Axe Chemist]

I've searched the forum for info on replacement trems for my Model 2 but I'm not having any luck finding out information that I'm looking for on suitable replacement trems.

Here's where I'm at: my JT-6 has seen better days and I'm ready to just replace it. I don't gig with the guitar so I don't think I need to go "all out" on a real OFR. I mainly play this guitar at home on rare occasions but when I do play it I want to know that the trem is stable and in good working order. My thoughts were to replace it with a Mighty Mite product. I have a local luthier that works almost exclusively with MM parts and he really knows what he's doing. So, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with MM trems and what are your thoughts/suggestions on this?

My current trem system has the "behind the nut" locking system so will this be a problem? The clamping blocks are worn out so they need to be replaced if I am going to have to keep this nut.

Thanks!

Mighty Mite is good stuff. I've never had any problems with any of their products. I'm not sure if they are cheaper or not but check Axcessories on meanstreets page.. they sell a pretty decent floyd trem on there as well.

Thanks, but what is "meanstreet"? ...oops nevermind, just googled and found it

This is the Mighty Mite Floyd I'm looking at: http://www.mightymite.com/Licensed_F...e_Bridges.html

It's the MMBL002B Model.

It would also be nice to mount a d-tuna on the new bridge!

BTW, I found the Axcessories site that you mentioned. You can get a black replacement Floyd for $39! Thanks!

the new Gotoh is a perfect drop in and better quality than anything else you'll find.
