Which LoPro?


I'm wanna replace the tremolo in a Jackson ps3t I'm getting and I want it to be low profile because with guitars that don't have low profile trems(aka lo pro edge) my hand hits the trem and raises the pitch. I do not want to have the cavity routed for a lo pro edge so I'm left with two options, the lo pro trs and the schaller lo pro. I have had little experience with the trs and I just found out the schaller existed(go here for pics). Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Also will either require routing? Thanks in advance.

Gotoh manufactures one tremolo that feels very smiliar to the Lo-Pro Edge. The stores have a lot of these here in Brazil. Unfortunately, I don't know the model...

Aside from the regular Schaller floyd (AKA Floyd Rose II), you'll have to modify the guitar to change that bridge..

The Gotoh floyd, OFR, and Edge/LoPro will need the cavity lenthened to fit, which may ruin your finish, and no matter what trem you stick in there, you will have to rout the cavity deeper.. That Schaller low profile doesn't look like it would just drop in either, as it's shaped more like a TRS than the squared-off rout in the PS series Jacksons..

My project guitar ( http://www.geocities.com/lordyosho/dinky.html ) is actually a PS4 body.. I had to remove some of the side wall of the rout (on the bar side of the fine tuner area), and rout the cavity deeper to drop in the Floyd Rose Pro I used.. Even then, the trem is very close to the back edge of the rout, and a normal floyd, or one like it, wouldn't fit..

The Floyd Pro was the closest I could find in a low profile bridge to fit the rout, and it still needed work.. If I had known I was going to refinish the guitar at the time, I would've gone with the Edge/LoPro, even with all the routing, but I can't go back now..

Your best bet would be to wait and see how you like the bridge the way it is, and if it's used guitar, see if you're gonna end up refinishing it.. Since you'll have to rout something to put in a low profile floyd, no matter which make, it might be worth-while to just have the thing routed for a LoPro Edge, then refinished.. That way, at least you're getting the best bridge in the guitar..

Just my opinions..

DEFINETELY go for the lo pro EDGE, i have never played a better trem, it always stays in tune if set up right, its built VERY well and is just a great trem.
