I have an SLATQH and it is so precisely what I would order as a custom that I'm curious if a surface mounted tremelo could be fit to one. If it could I would probably part with my SL2H and buy another SLATQH to replace it with because I don't want to be without a trem fitted axe. I don't know much about different tremelos so whats the skinny...is the OFR the cats meow of hardware? Also feel free to voice your knowledge pertaining to what the tonal difference from stock would be as in various pros/cons etc..

Re: SLATQH with trem???
I'm with ya. The SLATQH is about 95% of what I would order from the Custom Shop. Add a Floyd, and I'd forget the few remaining details (24.75" scale, 1H slanted, KV2 Speed Neck profile).
I asked some dealers if they would be willing to retrofit a Floyd Rose onto a SLATQH for me at added cost, but noone wanted to do it. I was told the neck angle is wrong, etc., and it would not be feasible.
Jackson, if you're listening, please offer a SLATQHFR (FR = Floyd Rose)!
As an alternative, you might consider an early 90s Jackson Archtop Soloist Professional, or a Charvel 750 XL.
