Earlier this year I ordered some new parts online for my Jackson JS32M Electric Guitar, it got the following parts.
* X1 Brand new chrome Floyd Rose Original FRT-100 Trem System.
* X1 Brand new chrome Gotoh locking nut.
* X1 Brand new set of chrome Gotoh tuners.
* X2 Brand new chrome metal knurled knobs.
* X1 Silver plastic pickup switch tip.
* X1 Brand new chrome metal jackplate.
* X1 Brand new Switchcraft output jack.
* X1 Brand new 500k Log 24mm pot.
* X1 Brand new .047uF PIO tone cap.
* X2 Brand new chrome metal pickup rings.
* X1 Brand new set of black Tonerider Firepower high output humbucking pickups.
* X1 Brand new set of chrome Schaller strap-locks.
I put some new strings on it last weekend, and gave the setup a bit of a tweak, got the 17th fret action set to a uniform 1/16th inch across the board, the guitar seems to be playing well, the guitar also got a new neck which I bought on eBay.
Yes, that's a genuine USA-made Floyd Rose Original FRT-100 bridge, Floyd Rose USA moved the manufacturing of their trem systems from Germany to America, and the bridge on my Jackson guitar is one of the models from the latest production run, still made using the same metals and etc as the German-made ones, they don't include the "Made In Germany" stamping, the square holes for the string anchor blocks in the saddles have rounded corners because Floyd Rose are now CNC Milling them.
The two new black Tonerider Firepower pickups are wound hotter than standard humbuckers, the neck humbucker has a DC resistance of about 15.7k and the bridge humbucker has a DC resistance of 20k, they sound great though, good for Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and Thrash.
