Replacing JT500

[RacerX]

I got you beat, Fett. I picked one up for $40 or 45 in the past (but it was here on JCF)

About 5 years ago I got one for $35 on Ebay! It is on my Yamaha RGX1220S (Think SL2H with 24/75" scale) which I got for $65 on Ebay! Add in shipping and I got a helluva nice axe for $130!

Then why does it say; "Charvel" "Made in Germany by Schaller"? Smartypants.:ROTF:

I concur. That is an awesome deal you made. Think yourself lucky!

Do all schaller models have the same measurements with jt500 ? Can i interchange my jt500 with one of these ?

Those will fit nicely. A Schaller Floyd, also known as a Floyd Rose II, is basically identical to the JT-590, so it is a drop-in replacement for a JT-500. AFAIK, the only difference between the Schaller Floyd and the JT-590 is that it has hardened threaded inserts for the saddle mounting screws rather than having them screw directly into the baseplate.
