Leftzilla Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Well here is an odd one. While restringing my 89F i cracked the first two threads on the floyd rose whammy bar interface (the part where the bar slips into the whammy housing that you tighten the collar on to "lock" the whammy bar). As a results the tightening collar won't thread easily.. Does anyone know if this interface can be replaced without replacing the entire housing? Or what series floyd rose does JTV89F come with?

aleclee Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 You might try this. I think the bar sockets are pretty standard. http://www.fu-tone.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=73&products_id=278 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palico Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Do your self a favor and pick up one of these. Comes with the coupler, you remove the screw on piece (coupler) so you will get a new one. The bar itself is about the same feel as the original and you have the Allen key needed for most of the lock nuts build into the arm itself, which is really useful. https://www.amazon.com/Floyd-Rose-Turbo-Trem-Arm/dp/B00K5X1XG2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500294525&sr=8-1&keywords=floyd%2Brose%2Bturbo%2Btremolo%2Barm&th=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palico Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Or what series floyd rose does JTV89F come with? opps missed answering that. It's a GraphTech Floyd Rose. The bar I mentioned in the above post, I have installed on mine. Yes the coupler can be replaced. If you wish to stay original, contact GraphTech, great group I'm sure they can get you another coupler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psarkissian Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 The collar on the bridge where the Tremolo Arm mounts? Or the fitting on the Tremolo Arm the screws onto the mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leftzilla Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Its the collar on the bridge where the arm mounts. Specifically the threads the tremelo arm mount screws into. I did order a new mount (5.10) to see if its compatable and hopefully works. Thanks to all for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
