Re: Will a Jackson JT-580 Trem Fit My JS1

Thats exactly what I have been tring to do. The spacing between the studs appears to be 2 1/2". I have not come across any bridge (hardtail or other) that seems to fit.

Maybe it would be easier to just pull the bushings out, dowel the holes and replace the fulcrum with a vintage 6 hole trem? I've never done anything like that though...

Or go with blasting/powdercoating the existing Jackson trem...

I think we need some input from Budman or Sully in this thread. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

That could technicaly work. Not sure what it would cost or who could do a powdercoating.

A bit pricey but it might work. 58 mm spacing? Break out the meter stick for that one. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Not easier, technically, but probably smarter.. Or replace it with something like a Wilk or a Floyd with a standard stud spacing [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img][ QUOTE ]

I don´t need a ruler, that´s about a 1/4" to narrow to fit [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
