Swapping the bridge on a Jackson KVX10

Re: Swapping the bridge on a Jackson KVX10

A couple more questions... if i have the JT580 Lo Pro, can i use any locking nut at the top of the neck like for example a Schaller locking nut from an Original Floyd Rose? I'm just curious if their all universal.
Also what's the difference between R1, R2, R3, R4, or R5? Excuse my ignorance, but i have no idea what that refers to, all i know is R2 is "standard".
Lastly, not all collar style trem bars fit all Floyd bridges, which i found out when i tried putting a whammy bar from a Floyd Rose Special on the JT580 Low Pro bridge...it wouldn't screw all the way down.
My question in regards to that, is which trem bars will fit the JT580 & JT580 Lo Pro? Just because it's hard to find one of the JT580 bridges for sale that has the trem bar with it & that may proove to be problematic.
Oh & one more thing (sorry for all the dumb questions), but with the Seymour Duncan pickups do i need a TB or an SH for the string spacing on the JT580 & JT580 Lo Pro bridges? Just because i've noticed on a lot of other online discussions, that quite a few people with Floyd bridges go with the SH, which i always assumed was the wrong thing.

R1-10 are the different nut sizes available with an OFR or Schaller FR, http://floydrose.com/nutsizes.html. R9 is the one closest to the stock Jackson nut.

OFR /Schaller bars will fit the jt 580 and 580 lp perfectly if you replace the collar assembly with the one that´s included with the replacement bar.

TB poles will line up better with teh strings than SH poles will.

I said they look like it to me, and that I prefer the look and feel of an OFR. Relax.
