Re: is this realy?
Looks like a TRS trem bar. Picture has the shadow of the bar, making it look twisted.

Re: is this realy?
Thats one of the worst 555's I've ever seen. It looks so dirty and scratched, the
fretboard wood
is extremely dry. I guess it comes with age, but I'd stay away from this one.

Re: is this realy?
Edge III would fit but why would you want to put one in when you could straight away get an OFR/Gotoh in?

Re: is this realy?
My guess is that something's been done to the term bar that's why it looks so odd.
Also, check the serial number, c417837, according to Rich's website, it must be built in Cort(Korea), in January 1994, and the 7837th guitar bulit in that month. But then according to the site, it usually has 7 or 8 digits but this one has 6.
In general, i don't really trust myself in buying guitars from unknown owners. i rather get one from somebody i trust. This one just smells fishy.
