Can you individually adjust the height of a string on a Lo Pro and Edge tremolo?


I have an Ibanez USA Custom UCEW1QM and would like to know if it is possible to individually adjust the height of a string on this guitar? I'm unsure about what specific trem does it have (it's a Lo Pro or an Edge trem). If it can be done, how do you do it? Thanks.

I remember reading somewhere that you can use shims, small shavings of wood under the string you want higher

I always use thin metal washers around the small screws that mount the saddles to the trem. Works fine.

You use saddle shims ... which are thin rectangular metal shims which sit under the saddle and are held in place by the saddle screw. They aren't easy to find though. Try Rich Harris.

Thanks guys. I'll certainly contact Rich to see if he has them.
