Guys, does replacing the Jackson bridge and nut with Original Floyd Rose work?

Asking because I m from India. The JS32 is available here ans there are some great deals available too. Unfortunately King Vs with the original FR are not. Even if they are they are stupidly expensive.

Getting an original FR set up through a friend in the states sounds like it is easier than actually importing a king v with the original FR set up.

Requesting your advice pls!

This is the only time I’ve ever seen a guitar abused back in tune!

More time is required in setup for cheap floydish systems.for any needing advice, a good place to start would be to adjust your spring tension. Maybe even remove/add one. Or angle them.it depends on your gauge and tuning. Just because the bridge is in the right position and in tune, doesn't mean it will stay that way. Try to get it to stay in tune with a fair amount of tremolo use BEFORE locking the nut. Also make sure your strings are stretched considerably before you lock them.

prob don't help your playing the 3rd interval in the chords with that much distortion it will automatically sound out of tune due to the harmonics of the 3rd interval clashing with tons of distortion

Quick tip: if you replace the nut with an authentic FR nut it stays in tune almost perfectly. The metal they use for cheaper nuts is not strong enough to really lock down the strings, so it slips a little here and there. But if you put a high quality nut on there it can really make all the difference.

Make sure your strings are properly stretched. Sometimes it takes a long time to break strings in.

When you said “I felt it slip a little bit” and it was suddenly in tune again, my jaw dropped, because that’s exactly what it’s like on mine. If I bend it up too far, it doesn’t sit right when it comes back down and the guitar goes out of tune. But if I bring it down slightly after, I feel it slip just a little bit, so it goes into place and it’s back in tune.

[josemariamonteiro]

Js32 series great guitar for the price and could gig with it fine. With a solid amp

[SamaelVR]

I hope people weren't expecting gig quality for $300. More like best option for that price imo.

I have a JS32 in natural. I beat the piss out of the Jackson Floyd and replaced it with a 1000. It's a beast!
I have had to do that with an Ibanez as well. I put an Edge Pro in my RG4somethingorother and again, like a new guitar!
I picked up a new Kelly KEX a few months back. It has a Special in it. I haven't had any problems with the Specials so far, when I've bought them new.

Went from King V to Queen B real quick

[christopheresteves]

I heard the licensed Floyd rose on the js models is "cheap". Totally agree with everything you said about Jackson guitars, including the js king. They do look incomplete w/o the neck/headstock binding!

[ethanbilby]

I dont know what kinda guitar you got, but i have the js32 king v with the floyd as well and i've done dimebag screams and it holds tune just fine

[americanmetalhead]

You use the same as me! Randall and Jackson hell yeah! Papa Dime rules!

[psywarltd.]

It sounded like you streched them into tune. I just bought one maple glossy black. It seems like a solid guitar. Thanks for reassuring me with this test.

Perfect video. I was looking at buying this guitar and wondering how well the bridge would handle torture. Thanks man :-)
