Would a 580 work, or only the 590?

Only a 590. The 580's base is the wrong size/shape.

Never tried it but get some locking blocks and the correct sting lock studs.

If you wanna get away with cheap, just put a jt500 on it. If you wanna significantly improve on the trem, Schaller/590. I believe there were a few js with offset dots as the original runs of offsetdots said either professional, performer, or concept in script.

From lookin at old threads its a dx10 which makes sense since it has a non stamped chrome trem, not sure why it has single locking saddles though.

yeah, I thought I saw one on eBay that was double locking, that is what is so friggin confusing sometimes.

I don't want to put too much money into it. I think it's gonna get a new orange finish and new trem. Also two SD pups. I like the look of the neck. Maybe I can build her into a player.

But again, if anyone has a cheap trem that would drop in, holler at me....

Well if you dont mind black saddles on a chrome base I got 6 I can send your way. Only thing is I dont have 6 short bolts. I have 3. Im sure you could find some short bolts for cheap. Pm me if you want em.

Edit-make that 4 short bolts. Just found another. If I get a chance I will stop by the music store and grab 2 more...if they're in stock that is.

It looks like an old dx10. What was the dinky that came with the cheap amp in the bundle? Could it be one of those?

[coloradoman25]

I have a couple short bolts and a floyd 2 base from the locking style saddles in black. So i think with both sets of parts you would be golden

An eBay seller said a floyd rose special would rop right in. Is he right?

A floyd rose special has the same dimensions as an OFR as it is just a cheaper copy. I think you will have the same bolt issue with it if your intonation requires a long adjustment, as in the bolt not fitting in the rout, limiting pull ups. The actual baseplate wil probably fit in the schaller rout.

[jdr94]

I dont think it will fit, but if you end up not using the saddles i sent ya please gift em to someone in need
