Is it a flat head screw or an allen key?

Allen wrench. It's a stud/insert type, not a wood-screw..

pretty sure budman used to make the post that will fit but his uses a flat head not the allen wrench. dont know if he's around anymore

Any Floyd stud should work seeing its not a JT 6 trem.

Yeah, but I want a matching one. With the 'deep' socket for the allen wrench..

Ian, shoot me a pic via PM...I may have what you need.

Just wanna be sure we're talking about the same one.

email sent!

Ian, if it's the kind I'm thinking of, it actually is a JT6-style post. Towards the end of the SD era, when a customer would send in their own OFR, they started using the JT6 posts with them anyway. I assume they did this because of the better stability of the inserts vs the original wood screws. (Hence, why Floyd later switched to that design, as well.)

If so, the ones Dave makes are drop in replacements. Better than the originals, actually. He just uses a flathead screw top instead of Allen wrench design.

yep, i had an 85 soloist same problem, they arent available aftermarket at all (or they werent a few years back). funny, BCRichs from the same time period use those same posts, thats were i got mine from had it in the parts bin.

Dude, post a pic if you can. I have a few old floyds / parts around and I'll check what I have.

It's been a long time since I've seen a JT6 post, but here's a pic of what I have:

Looks like a JT6 post to me. If you can find an original, great. Otherwise, hit up frets on the net for a replacement pair.

P.s. Cool color. Let's see the rest of the guitar, please. LOL

Yeah, it's been a while, but now I think back to my 88 ltd and a few others, these do look like JT6 posts... here's the guitar: http://www.jcfonline.com/threads/141623-NGD-sparkly
