Hey guys and gals,
So my plans for the 7 I bought recently fell thru. I wound up bringing the guitar back because I just couldn't get jiggy with it. For a little while I wanted an Ibanez RG350MDX in black, but I had found a Jackson I rather liked. And it's surprising for me, because there really hasn't been a Jackson that appealed to me for more than a decade - and I had nothing but problems with the 2 I had years ago before I got my first 7-string. So my newly found love and wanting a Jackson after all this time is a bit odd to me.
So when I brought it back, I looked around during for the guitar I initially wanted - the Jackson JS32 DKA-M in black. But I had also spotted another guitar that I wanted to try in comparison, a Jackson Soloist SLX. While I do like both exceptionally well, I am leaning more towards the SLX. Mainly because it feels like a much more solid axe, and feels and plays superbly. Not that the DKA-M doesn't, but the Soloist just has a much better feel - not to mention looks absolutely killer appeal to it.
So this is where my question come into play... The Soloist has a Floyd Rose Special tremolo on it, but I want to swap it out for a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Pro, which is a low profile version. I noticed that the post position measurements are the same, but I am trying to check the rest of the measurements to make sure it will fit... Has anyone else made the swap from an original to a low profile Floyd? If so, any mods needed to be made, or was it a direct swap???
If I am going to have a trem- equipped guitar again, I want one with a trem I like the most and most comfortable with. So thank in advance!
