    Problem swapping pickups, not wiring related


    Ok the sound is not the problem. It's gorgeous... This pickup is a sleeper and totally underrated. But it IS a trembucker/F spaced and yet... Well the polepieces aren't where they should be. Has it happened to anyone, and what's the cause?

    EDIT: ok... the JT6 has standard spacing. Well that's one hard learnt lesson that I had no idea about. Stupid me.

      dude, buy and ofr long block and replace the jt-6. it will sound and perform better and you won't have to re-wire a new pup.

        I'm w/ DR on this one, though it may be a bit more of a hassle & expense in Europe to go that route than it is over here.

          There is one irritating problem about a Floyd conversion with that bridge though: The JT-6 studs are wider than the OFR studs, so you'd either have to keep the JT-6 studs, or dowel the holes and redrill.

            I hear the OFR is a direct replacement?
            I don't have 200 euros to shell out for a Schaller unfortunately.
            It's a Full Shred. This pickup rips.

            What licenced Floyd would be the best bang for the buck for cheaper than a Schaller or OFR and would be better than the JT6?
            In Europe the Gotohs are more expensive than the OFR, keep that in mind... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

            Ah wait my bad... I did find one website (In Holland, how convenient [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]) that has Gotohs for cheaper than Schallers (about 40 euros cheaper including shipping compared to Rockinger's Schallers)

            Is it worth the money? Should I shell 40 extra euros and get the Schaller?

                And how about a second hand OFR? Would that run under 170 bucks/150 euros including shipping and be worth not getting the Schaller or even Gotoh?

                  no need to change the posts or studs, just swap the jt-6 for the ofr (40mm block) and your done.
