Beautiful guitar, but getting a USA Jackson has been a game-changer. Plus, I'm looking to move, and will be listing several items.

'50s Meaty neck profile, and some weight - 9-9.5lbs.
Only signs of wear are the usual suspects - Marks on the pickguard, and minor scuffs on the headstock from general string changes, wiping it down, etc.. NO dings, dents, buckle rash, or issues of any kind whatsoever...


Upgrades include:
*Kluson Revolution Locking tuners
*Tonepros Locking Roller Bridge
*Tonepros Locking Tailpiece
*Gold Speed Knobs

Will include original tuners, tailpiece, and knobs. Don't have the original bridge.. It was a cheap rattle-trap ABR-1 anyway that I gave away. These can take a Nashville, and I prefer the Tonepros to lock down, and the rollers give more height to clear the bridge easily, with the tailpiece all the way flush.

$1899 PPLF&F. Not looking for trades, raising cash is my only motivation here...

Yes. The newer standards are actually threaded for a Nashville style bridge, even though they come with an ABR. They use a Nashville threaded post with an ABR sized pin. I hate those bridges. Not enough travel for intonation, (especially the low E), and you have to jack the tailpiece 4" off the body for the strings to clear the rattle-trap saddles and not lay on the back of the bridge and cause lean over time. Garbage.

I like the rollers because they sit up high, smoother friction point, no issues with saddle heights/notched wrong, sharp, string alignment, etc. I get the tailpiece all the way down, great string clearance, and another layer of tuning stability. I swear by these on a Gibson. Plus, all the Tonepros have a ton of saddle travel for intonation.

@napalmdeath do you think it'd be a direct drop in on a Traditional?
 
This is such a damn good deal. Can't understand why it's still here. I have an ebony one, and the stock pickups are really good.

Nice guitar
 
With the rollers do you see any reduction of sustain with string bending?
