@FelineGuitars ;

Sorry for the daft question, but I’m not exactly sure what these look like.

Do these push fit arms literally just push in and pull out without screwing the collar onto the thread? I’m wondering about these as I am a bit worried about how well the stock arm fitting will last on my new Charvel Pro-Mod as I am wanting to take it to my lessons every week and don’t want to leave the arm on in the gig bag. If these just push in and pull out then I think it sounds like it would last better and be less faff, but if they are more permanent style not really designed for lots of taking on and off then I’m probably better off sticking with the standard one.

Does anyone have any advice on this?

Thanks.

Andy

They are push in type, the grub screw allows you to tighten in place.. which of course you don't have to do...

Thanks guys.

I'm struggling a little bit to picture how that fits on, does the smaller section with the lock nut fit onto the trem unit so the arm can then just be pushed in and pulled out of that instead of the stock "hole"? It might make more sense when I get home later and see the guitar in front of me...

FelineGuitars

Take old fitting out , leaving a hole 
Take the nut off the new unit and push the fitting through the hole from the top till the ridged section bites into the baseplate
Fix the nut on from underneath and tighten with a 1.2" spanner till it all locks tight
Arm will push in from the top
Grub screw on the side determines the tightness of the fit for the arm (it will be very snug to begin with)

On my own arm I took a little off the very bottom of the down part of the arm because I liked the bar to sit lower than others may like. No harm in adjusting to taste if needed.

Brilliant, thanks @FelineGuitars ;

Sounds worth a go to me. I've only had the guitar for 10 days or so but I want to figure out the setting up etc. of the Floyd and want to restring it sometime soon, sounds worth doing this all in one go. I'd like to order one of these, I'll go and find it on your site.

I'll now go and look up the best way to restring a Floyd...

Will these Genuine Floyd Rose collars retrofit into the baseplate of the infamous Jackson JT-6?

FelineGuitars

Yes , but may need a tiny bit of reaming on the baseplate which isn't hard - the plate is not great metal and drills or reams easily. Careful not to overdo the hole size.

None of the metal in the Jackson JT-6 is great.

However I put an upgraded cold rolled steel block on my JT6 and greatly improved it.
A big plus point on the JT6 is that it has Gibson String spacing 10.5mm between strings, so good for a narrow neck

Yup ...last one for now . Must order some more

RoadStar666

What size are they? Need a 5.5 gold push in one

FelineGuitars

The bushing fitting fits a 10mm hole in the floyd baseplate - it's best to use it's own fitting for best fit

FelineGuitars

We've got some left handed ones in chrome now too

Do you have any of these available now? Chrome or black would be fine for me...
