Knife edge replacment.

[ibz_SA]

Hey guys, I recently brought a Jem and the knife edges are worn so I took it to my local music store to get the bridge fixed until now I didnt realise it was the knife edges but now im 99% shore it is, and I recently rang them up to find out that, no they didnt replace the knife edges and there for the trem wasnt fixed, in finding this out I asked them how much it would cost to replace the knife edges in my standard 2004 edge pro trem, and they said over $600 AUS so about $340 US, they said that you CANT replace knife edges but instead the hole trem has to be replaced is this true? Living in Australia its a pain and living in a small local town makes it worse anyone no any Australian techs I could contact to get my knife edges fixed? Maybe Eddie from ET?

Thanks guys!

it doesn't cost near that much because you CAN replace the knife edges on Edge Pro trems.

so for starters you can buy replacement knife edges for $25 from Ibanezrules.com.

secondly you could probably get away with filing the knife edges.

or you could just sharpen the knife edges

what would the whole tremolo run to replace if you had to?
