Very nice axe, looks killer with a maple board on there.

But just one thing, the angle of the Edge Pro looked way off, better take care of that soon =)

Isn't top surface of the edge pro supposed to be pretty much parallel with the surface of the body of the guitar (unlike Edge and Lo Pro edge). Which is about what it looked like in the pics to me (though I couldn't find one with a really good viewing angle and they're kind of dark). That's my main complaint with the Edge Pro, since it's not at an angle, that sharp corner kind of sticks up into your hand, instead of being almost recessed into the body. I was thinking of taking a dremel to mine to round it off, but I can't bear to.

Yeah the trem angle is way off. The knife edges are supposed to be parallel, not the top of the trem. Use the little rectangle on the side of the trem where the knife edges are inserted for reference. You just need to back the claw out a little bit or lose a spring. Which ever one is easier for you, go for it, but don't back the claw out to much.

Nice axe none the less, really cool with the maple board.

dude, that's just awesome! how much you spend on it? in RM or Sing dollors?

Hey guys thanks for all your kind comments.
The pictures were taken went the guitar first reached my doorstep. Total untuned ..like those from the factory. That explains why the tremolo bridge was so off..hehe. It's normal now after I had it tuned...though I just can't bear to play it. I spent about SGD$2950 in total..inclusive of the shipping/insurance plus 5% of singapore local gst tax on the guitar. Understand that the model is discontinued and I was really fortunate to have the opportunity to own the last piece in translucent blue. Feel free to reply to me if you guys got any enquiries

On an edge pro, the rectangle is parallel with the top surface of the trem.

Mine could have the springs loosed a tiny bit in this photo, but you can see the rectangle and how it relates to the top surface of the trem -- parallel.

Edit: heh, I named my jpegs "lopro." Oops. It's an edge pro though.
