My first Ibanez yay!

I just brought home this 4 years old RG570 for $560 and when I first plugged it in I couldn't believe it!
My only guitar until now was Aria STG-series for $200 so you can imagine. It's just perfect! The only problem is that I broke the whammy bar after about 5 minutes of playing so I'd like to ask you guys what type of tremolo is it.
I've heard that RG570's have Lo-Pro's but I don't know for sure, I tried to compare with google pics but I just want to be sure so I can order the right one from Ibanez Rules!

Looks good.

Congratulations!

I'm not too sure of the trem type, but someone will be able to tell you.

It's an Edge Pro bridge on a 2003 RG570. It uses the same bar as the Edge and Lo-Pro. Make sure you get the bar with the two white nylon bushings on the end.

By the way -- make sure you push the bar all the way into the socket. I'd imagine you broke it because you didn't do this the first time round. It must be pushed in hard until you hear it click into place. Can take some effort when the bushings are new/unworn.

Thank you for advice, I'm pretty sure I didn't push it hard enough. Thanks again!

Is it just me or is the high e actually above the string tree? Nice and clean guitar BTW.

Fredjo · #7 03-27-2009, 06:55 PM

It actually does sits above, I didn't notice after restringing, I got it under a few minutes after taking the pic
