JT580LP replacement ???

[thetruthguy]

Takeuchi makes these ... is there any way to buy them direct? I'd like to get one in gold, and I'd also like to get a gold nut. The nut is important, because it's not the same size as an OFR nut, and I'd like to replace all the chrome hardware on my DK2 with gold harware, but I don't want to have to modify the neck to fit an OFR nut.

thanks!

I was going to suggest buying a Floyd Pro, isn`t that similar to the JT-580, with the fine tuners in the middle of the trem? Would the Gold Floyd nut fit the old slot of the JT-580 one? Jack.

The FLoyd nuts from Carvin will replace the Jackson nut just fine. I did my DK-2 HRF with a complete OFR from Carvin (you have to buy the nut separately).
