I got JT6 in my Charvel Mod3. Should I change it for JT580? Fine-tuning a JT6 is a nightmare for my big hands and fingers and AFAIK fine-tuners are on top of the JT580, right? How about the quality of them, any differences?

Re: JT6 and JT-580lp
Why not go for an OFR while you're at it?
JT580LP = cheap metal that will wear out faster than an OFR, Trem arms that wiggle loose during play - and subtle palm muting made difficult due to the angled saddles (my opinion). They stay in tune well as long as they aren't exessively worn though. -

How much an OFR cost in your country? They are pretty expensive back here in Finland...Comment

Re: JT6 and JT-580lp
Here in Sweden they go for around 2600 SEK and up (around 260 Euros). Yup, expensive they are. The Schaller Floyds command a marginally lower price. The difference in quality compared to the JT580LP is clearly noticable though.
I guess it comes down to how much you're willing to spend on the guitar.
What I did was look around a bit in music-oriented pawn-shops online. Also, some guitar gear collectors and techies continually sell off items that they replaced, so look for such web pages. I finally managed to get hold of a NOS Schaller Floyd. It was rather pricey (about 200 Euros with shipping, which is half of what I paid for the guitar), but I don't regret the purchase for a second. I also bought the EMG pickups I have in it through places like this.Comment
