my original question was how can i tell the difference between the jt580 and the new trem. is it just the base plate or is the trem made of a different material?

No. The only difference now is the harder metal baseplate under the trem. Same passive HI-Z pickups. Jackson can back up that fact.Fuck ebay, fuck paypal

Anyone got pictures of the new tremolo? What's it called? JT-???Comment

Still a JT580LP. It's identical in appearance, just stronger

Not quite. the new trem on the X series is no longer low profile, and has full length string lock screws. Black on the DXMG, chrome on the WRXT, DX10D, KVX10,etc.Originally posted by wilkinsiStill a JT580LP. It's identical in appearance, just stronger

Looks just like a JT-580 Takeuchi to me, apart from the rounded rear of the saddles. Hopefully made from better metal. I think sunbane knows about this - dunno where he got the info.

Jacksonfan, that's not an '06

The DXMG will not have ACTIVE EMG's.
Still you could always upgrade, if you wanted to..Comment

I'm quite certain that it is an 06. Here's a pic of a 06 KVX10 with the same trem in chrome. As you know, 06 is the first year for a trem on the KVX10, so the pic has to be right. The DXMG pic above is also the same pic Jackson provided Matt for the new models. We all know everything isn't updated on the Jackson siteOriginally posted by RacerX
, but I'm certain that these are correct. Besides, didn't the older DXMG have the Lopro JT-580 with the stubby string lock screws like the DK2?

Well of course I can't find any close-up pics but I could swear that on the new trems I saw at NAMM the block adjuster screws sticking up at angles directly behind the saddles. I just looked at my '04 DXMG and that trem looks different than what Henrik pictured above..."Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment

OK wait - you said that already (DXMG no longer has the Lo Pro). My bad.
Yes my '04 has the "stubby" screws...."Quiet, numbskulls, I'm broadcasting!" -Moe Howard, "Micro-Phonies" (1945)Comment
