    You would be better off putting up a photo of what you have, so we can see what would fit. I have a JS20, with a non-locking two point trem, and the posts for the trem are the wrong spacing and position for a floyd, so there is hole-plugging and re-drilling involved to fit a different trem.

    What nut does the neck have? You may need to modify the neck to take a locking nut, or do you want the locking tuners above. If you have a lock nut, locking tuners seem kinda redundant.
    A Charvel CX592, Jackson JS20 and a Jackson DK2, amongst others....

      Thanks for he reply, it seems we has he same JS20 i think. so yes you are right about distancing, and then theres the whole locking nut job.or locking tuners.
      that i can handle, so now in short all i would like to do is to replace the stock non locking 2 point with a better brand, something that does not have Long allen set screws cutting your palm while playing... when lowering the string height they stick WAY up high....any ideas links?
      will post guitar pic very shortly.

        As far as the saddle height screw go you can take a bit off the bottom of the screw with a dremel tool.
        Finding shorter screws is an option just make sure they have the same thread size.A JS20 will have metric threads.
        Short Fender screws are US threads.
        Really? well screw Mark Twain.
