What can I use to block an edge pro so that it remains level?

[p4vl]

And I don't mean a tremsetter or tremol-no. I've heard of people using erasers, but the edge pro on my RG2550 leans forward a bit when I use them. Anyone know of any objects that would do the trick?

A block of wood, cut to measurements. I had one in with my Strat.

No point trying to find a household object that's just the right size to begin with.

Block of wood is the way to go. It's what I used on my first Ibanez when I had no idea had to deal with a trem.

Does that give any sustain benefits, blocking a trem off?

the EdgePro is a bit tricky to block if you want to do it properly (i.e. blocking it right on the very outer edge of the block, where the springs attach). that's the way i usually do it:

(dive-only - it's a LoPro, but pretty much the same on EdgePro)





(full-block)

i blocked an edge on my rg570 with a stack of coins taped up on one side and a few pieces of ice cream sticks stuck together on the other side. works fine.

i'd be careful about drilling holes in the guitar though.

I did something like this a while ago.
It worked nicely.

Why not just adjust the springs? Works for me and you get up/down capability..

how can you block a trem while leaving it up/down capability? it's a nonsense...

[AxeHappy]

I think he meant why not adjust the springs so that it was setup properly instead of blocking it.

[nuno]

at this point i think it's not clear if he wants to block it or not. may he explain please?

I once used a deck of cards behind the trem block and cut off the excess length.

Thats what I meant. Im under the assumption his trem is giving way to the tension of the strings..
