JT-590 or JT-500

Those 2 look the same, correct. The 590 being the Schaller made, higher quality one, how do you tell the difference? Just the Made in Germany stamp? There used to be a sticky with all the trem info, but I couldn't find it.

the 500 also feels cheaper. I think the block on the 590 should have info also.

They do look the same. The stamp is the best way to tell. Here's Henrik's trem info project page:

Some of it his info is also buried somewhere in that long sticky post at the top of the tech section.

I just checked the sticky - the pic links are all broken.

I was looking for the sticky that had all the Jackson trem info, that used to be here. Either way I thought I found a cheap replacement for my Schaller, but I think it was a JT500.
