According to this thread: https://www.jcfonline.com/threads/15...-made-in-India ... it might be a JT500.
If you look at the great resource http://audiozone.dk/index-filer/Trem...ject.htm#jt500 ... you will see a photo of the "JT-500-like tremolo, unlabeled" that greatly resembles the tremolo on the JK20 photos seen in the above link. Good bet that is the right tremolo. -
The JT-500 was cheap, looked like a knock-off version of a Schaller/JT-590. Just go with a Schaller and be done with it.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

The wired thing is that the threads for the arm are on the inside and doesn’t have the collar with threads on the outsideOriginally posted by Number Of The Priest View PostComment

Sounds like the trem that was on my ps4. It was a weird schaller knockoff with a screw in bar. Looked like this one.Originally posted by gps100proof View Post
A better pic of that type of trem. although not jackson branded, it has the schaller type base with the weird screw in arm socket that easily unscrews and becomes missing.

Couldn’t see the 2nd photo but it does look very similar. Mine has no marking other than “licensed by FR” and like you said, my trek arm is missing. Any idea where or what model to find a replacement?Originally posted by Carbuff View PostSounds like the trem that was on my ps4. It was a weird schaller knockoff with a screw in bar.

As toejam said, its a copy of the schaller, so thats a drop in replacement. As a bonus it will have the normal collar style trem arm.Comment
