    So kinda getting sick of the guitar, so I thought I would add a little flavour.

    Changing from black hardware to chrome and emgs to possibly blackouts.

    I want to swtch the Jackson Floyd with an Original Floyd definally. Add sparzel locking tuners, change the pickup rings to chrome and locking nuts.

    Where would the best place to buy this stuffs?

    Also, I take it changing from a non original floyd to an original will be easy considering they are nearly the same?

    If you're going to replace everything you may aswell buy a new guitar!

    What model Jackson is it? Some of their trems can be interchanged with an OFR but some overhang and need to be routed/moddded to get proper pull up in them.
    Also if you're keeping the guitar with lock nuts, why bother with locking tuners? It wont affect the tuning stability of the guitar in the slightest.
    As for where - Warmoth and some other US places do decent prices. Check eBay too for good deals. I haven't seen too many good european places with good stock and prices.

    I can help you with the Sperzels but you missed out on the chrome pickup rings :p

    What pickups are in it now? Have you considered maybe something interesting like an active eq circuit?

    Warmoth do a lot of what you are looking for.

    As for some things, Ive used http://guitarpartsdepot.com/ before myself when I was buying some Seymour Duncans and found them quite reasonable. Just missed a 15% discound they had running on everything until Sunday. As I said Ive used thme with no hassle.

    I agree with Demeyes why bother with locking tuners if you have a locking nut and trem?

    Its actually pretty good. Holds the tuning quiet well. But age is taking her toll so I figure a the change will only do it better.

    $169 from the website 68ls gave me!
