This was the one that the bridge parts were missing in the store or something like that, right? Looks like a JT500 baseplate with Gotoh saddles and the JT500 lock screws. And a chrome bar collar?? I have to admit it kinda looks cool. Only thing I'd say is to make sure you don't crank the holy hell out of any of the screws on the bridge and it should stay good for a long time. Nice guitar!

Yep, this was the one

It fits perfectly I have the original JT500 saddles. But... they some things are missing so i used this ones first!
Also stays in tune awesome!

Chrome bar collar is temporarily

But thanks!! I love the guitar!

If it works good and intonates, don't change anything on that bridge. Those saddles are better than the stockers. And, for whatever reason, I think it looks cool as hell. Different in a good way. Like a Schaller and a Gotoh got together and had a baby.. lol. Good to know they work together. Some hate the JT500's. The few I've used were fine but I don't go nuts with the bar. I think the problems are the holes are easier to strip (plate not hardened??) and the knife edges wear out quicker (same reason). But take care of it and I'm sure you'll be fine. Now play the fuck out of it and enjoy!!!

some "blocks" missing on your A und D string?
did you just keep the ballends on these strings?
does it work that way?

[jdr94]

yes please cause i swear those saddles look like they came from an ibanez. if it had jt500 bolts then why is there a string lock screw right on the saddle

oops i'm late. yeah that looks like the saddles off of an ibanez edge III http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nezEdgeIII.jpg dont dive bomb unless you want a bunch of indentions

2nd edit-too bad you're in the netherlands i'd give you a complete jt500, but then you said you already have the original saddles right?
