great guitars, i've got the Rev. Dinky.. purple, HH, bridge is the big jackson blade.. love it, need to pull it out.. have a performer that's nice as well from that era, they made some fine instruments in japan back then, the best IMHO! curious why didn't you just remove the shims and screw the bridge down to get your action squared away? I want plenty of room to move both directions a good eighth above the deck in case I need to stop I'll pull up on the E brake.. ahh, you did pull the shims ... good deal..
Hey Dean - Got to love a Made in Japan. I think these JSX 94s were just before the Performers? Yea, taking those shims out made all the difference. Thanks for watching, dude.
by raising or lowering your string height with tension on your strings you will ultimately ruin your knife edges on your trem.losen strings then adjust height.any good Luthier will tell u the same..
Just an FYI. The concept series was right before the performer series. But do not assume all performers are good. The first batch 95-96 were japanese. The later 97 to 99-2000 can be korean. And those guitars quality is not as good. Also the concepts and performers were routed for the cheap jt 500 pot metal garbage trem. A far better replacement than a gotoh for these particular models is a jt 590 which is just a jackson labelled schaller floyd rose. which is the real quality tremolo that the cheap Jt500 was modeled after. Therefore the route is perfect!
what a beautiful guitar

Thanks for taking the time to comment Mike. You are right, of course. Fortunately no knife edges were harmed in the making of this video. ❤️
