  • can you recomend me a inexpensive floyd copy?

    To replace a 580lp (knife edges are shot)
    is there a trem that is under $75 that is as good or better than this one?
    If it's not a CHARVEL then i dont want to play it,look at it or even fuckin THINK about it!

        You might actually be able to pick up an original FR for that much on Ebay. I believe Carvin sells them for $100.

            Carvin has OFRs for $169 in Chrome, $179 in Black, and $189 in Gold.

            Guitarpartsdepot has OFRs for $149 in Chrome (out of stock), $159 in Black, and $169 in Gold (out of stock).

            The copies are way less: http://guitarpartsdepot.com/Merchant2/me...y_Code=locktrem

              Try a mighty mite from this site they are the cheapest I've seen($59.95+ship.) www.dancingdragonguitars.com you can't go wrong,it can't be worse than a JT6 ,which are fine pieces of work IMO,just not the best material. [img]/images/graemlins/idea2.gif[/img]

                  No.. Here are mulötiple ones out there, but the only ones good enough to earn my recommendation are the OFR and Schaller units, a JT-6 is fine if it came stock.

                  Everything else is just a cheap copy in my opinion [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

                    Savage,

                    TRS makes a really good trem that will replace the 580LP with exact fit. I was really impressed when I got it. Always went right back in tune. Anyway heres a link. I think the straight edges look awful with the angled route when you go from a 580lp to a FR or like.

                    Good luck
