Members Hurtzher Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've really been wanting a super strat style guitar with a Floyd and the HSS pickup configuration. Kinda crazy that it's so hard to find a decent HSS super strat guitar these days. Anyone have any comments on the Jackson JT580LP trem (as seen on the DK2)?

Members ExiledCrow Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I believe its the trem that's on my Kelly, seems quite solid and well made but I don't abuse it, so I'm not sure. Considering all the guitars they use that are trem equipped I'd be surprised if it were junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members V-Type Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 Their no OFR but they are good none the less.I had some minor intonation/tuning issue's with mine when I bought both a DXMG and DK2 loaded with them.I took them completely apart though and cleaned them thoroughly and both were perfect afterwards.The hex heads were a bit too soft imo as well but not a major biggie just make sure the wrench is completely in the hex before tightening.Great MIJ guitar btw and Excellent Super Strats.

Members RaVenCAD Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I agree with Loco.. The current Jackson import hardware is a joke. Personally, if I were buying a sub $1000 superstrat, right here is what I'd be going for: This is the Russian Roulette by Gary Kramer (yeah, that Kramer).. They're imported parts then assembled in the states, just like Kramer did back in the day. Here is the link: http://www.garykramerguitar.com/roulette.html $895 and badass!

Members DonP Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 No issues with my DK2. I'm not a heavy whammy user, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ExiledCrow Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 Well, looks like there's varying opinion on this one, and I can't argue, really, I have one trem equipped guitar and I rarely even put the bar on, so it's kind of hard for me to say how the JT580 holds up for the long run.
