Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 the black one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 i am not fond of those.....i prefer floating trems or hardtails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 are they still decent?? i got it at home and i cant give it back......i just need a bridge that will keep it decently in tune, but i also have locking tuners so it will help right?

tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 depends what you're looking for... Gotoh makes excellent stuff though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 yes..gotoh is good quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 well, i am using it on a Jackson RR5 replica, it should be fine with locking tuners though, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 no..... from what I can see, it's a vintage type trem. I'd go for a Floyd Rose type trem if I were you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 as long as you are'nt looking to do extreme whammy madness it will be fine,but it is not really going to look right on that guitar imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westhemann Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 floyd is better for that guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 GOTOH 2 way adjustmen truss rod @ 410 mm where do you find this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 you'll need 6 in line tuners for the RR5 headstock. (I just looked it up.. like I'd know how the hell a Jackson RR5 would look like). Other than that, I'd ditch the whammy and go with a tunomatic bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 well, i wanted to add some of my own personal touches so i did the 3+3 headstock, and wes, my uncle manages a music store and he ordered me all this stuff, i just said a double adjustment truss rod, thats what i got Plus, i cant spend too much money cuz i got none, but heres the price for the bridge i got now: $52.65 since its my uncle he got me a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Plus, i cant spend too much money cuz i got none, but heres the price for the bridge i got now: $52.65 since its my uncle he got me a good deal I say he ripped you! I buy those trems for €45... that's US$36!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 i am in canada, so its bout the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 oh.. Canadian dollars.... you should've mentioned that. I almost slapped your uncle for nuthin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 hahaha funny funny, so will this bridge be fine with those tuners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 no... not if you're planning to do dive bombs and such. I strongly suggest you to trade that trem for either a floyd rose or a Tunomatic bridge. My personal opinion is that a trem looks horrible on that guitar...

Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 i will try what i can, if i cant get anything now then i will just put it on, as long as it will let me play and keep it in tune decently Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 if you mount it flush with the body and let it act as a fixed brifge, you'll be allright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis P Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 thats what i was planin to do, thats how i thought it was done though...... guess i need to do more research on bridge mounting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsl602000 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 standard strat trems are the floating kind. I always mount them flat on the body.. it improves the tone and tuning stability. I don't use no trem anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
