trem questions

[neptoess]

i just bought a new RG4EXQM1 in grey burst. First off, I think the trem is an Edge III but I can't verify this. Also, what trems can I swap it out for since Edge IIIs dont last long from what ive heard

Its an Edge III

You can get an OFR/Schaller/Gotoh LFR in there. I personally recommend the Gotoh LFR.

some guys talked about the edge III being nice and good... you should play it and in a few years... maybe change it... or look at it if it needs something

It was alright but it's very cheap. The trem i mean. I mean I could do divebombs and crazy stuff and it would still keep tune. But the saddles were weak once they came out of place during a divebomb

[neptoess]

yea its fine for now may i ask why you would recommend a gotoh lfr over a schaller or ofr

[madpickin03]

lower profile, no neck collar, just pop-in arm with easy adjustable torque, arm-bent is very similar to the Edge. Basically the closest feel to an Edge rather than OFR/Schaller.

would the saddles need shimmed like if i put an OFR in it??

[neptoess]

can anyone answer me, is it a direct replacement or will i need some routing and/or saddle shimming

[madpickin03]

no routing necessary, however, you "may" need to shim the saddle depending on your comfort/preference to adjust to the Wizard II radius.
