Charvel Jackson Vintage floyd licensed 5150 EVH softbagntroduced into the 1987 Model Charvels was theJackson JT-6 Tremolo

If this unit is on your guitar that would positively date it to 1987 or later.

There are lots of bridge systems out there and without giving a big history lesson here let me just say that in the early-mid 1980s everyone wanted to use a Floyd Rose tremolo.This was inspired by Eddie Van Halen and Mr Floyd Rose through the invention of the Floyd Rose Tremolo.

In the above photo I have seperated the string lock block from the fine tuner. As you can see the section comes apart and the "block" has a larger square shaped top. This fine tuner set up and the block work together to hold the string, after its been cut, into the bridge. If you've ever seen an Original Floyd Rose trem you will quickly be able to tell this difference.

The JT-6 trem is NOT an "Original Floyd Rose". By 1987 Mr. Floyd Rose licenced to other companies the ability to manufacture "copies or bridges similiar to " his Patented tremolo system.

Jackson Guitars obviously had a license agreement with Floyd Rose to produce this tremolo for thier guitars. That make the JT-6 trem a licenced Floyd Rose Trem.

In my opinion the introduction of this came about out of urgency. Had Charvel Jackson not offered a Floyd Rose type system, due to the popularity of this type of bridge peaking in and about 1987, Im sure Jackson and Charvel sales would have suffered DRAMATICALLY.ntroduced into tkson JT-6 Tremolo
