Changing hardware

[callen3615]

Ok so I have recently purchased a rg550 rfr and I have come to the conclusion that chrome hardware looks cheap. I would like to change the hardware on my Jackson to black.





Ok my questions are: I have the action VERY LOW and would like to keep it that way, so if I get a gotoh trem and a new locking nut could i get it back to where it is? Its like 1.5mm around the 24 fret. And will schaller tuners fit? thanks

Oh, and will the edge tremolo fit the routing? I assumed it would

or an ofr??

Go the Gotoh, cheaper than a new Edge or OFR, and probably better than an OFR and on par with an Edge. Should fit nicely too. Replace the studs and inserts with the locking studs that come with the Gotoh and you'll be in heaven.

And have it set up by the same guy that set it up the way it is, and the action should be the same...

You shouldn't have to replace the nut at all. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I also don't think an OFR will fit that routing.
