Edge Lo Pro trem post question

[Severinsteelsmith]

I am totally new to locking trems and I have taken my old Ibanez 550DX totally apart to clean, and now I am putting it back together. I have noticed that the trem posts have these little mini screws that come out of the bottom of each post. Is there a proper way to set these up?

Thanks!

those are the locking studs. When you have the trem and action set up right, you screw those down using a smaller allen wrench from the top of the stud. It locks them in place and you get better tremolo performance and reliability and whathaveyou

Awesome, thanks so much!

make sure you keep them locked down, because if they're not, over time the stud holes can become slightly rounded by whammy use.

careful, don't over tighten them!
