Hey guys,

i would like to replace the Edge Pro II bridge from my 2006 RGT42DX as i am having tunning issues with it (stability).

So either i will replace it for an Original Floyd Rose (i have searched the forum and you guys say it is a direct replacement, so it should not be a problem). And it appears to be cheaper and a tad better than an Edge Pro.

But i would consider also to put a fixed bridge on it, if it is quite cheaper. Is there any fixed bridge for "direct replacement"?

What would you suggest?

Why buy a fixed bridge? Blocking the Edge Pro II will do the same thing for a lot less work and $$$.

Edge Pro is the direct fit. The OFR "may" fit. It's not guaranteed though.

I have had really good luck with the Edge Pro in my RG2570, stays in tune great even with trem abuse

But yeah LP has the right idea if you want to go the fixed route, just block the one you have now...

It's good to see the Edge Pro is fine, nevertheless i've seen opinions in this forum regarding its tuning stability...

LonePhantom, what do you mean by "may" fit? Is this info below not correct?

forum.ibanez.com/yaf_postst83402_What-trem-goes-into-what-cavity---MUST-SEE.aspx

That info was para-phrased from a thread from this forum. If you are lucky the OFR will fit the route, meaning that the routes for Edge III equipped guitars aren't quite consistent. Some MAY fit the Edge III cavity, chances are that the locking screws at the back won't clear the cavity, so you'll need to sand/route the back of the cavity. The wings of the baseplate may also cut it fine too.

The Edge Pro's tuning stability is not really that big of an issue. What happened was earlier model Edge and Lo Pro Edges came with locking studs, which gave them a little bit more stability, and lessened the chances of the holes ovelling out. Edge Pros did not get locking studs, so there was a bit of a storm in a teacup from many members here. You can fit the locking studs to the Edge Pro anchors as they are the same size as the Edge/Lo Pro Edge ones. Your main issue will be replacing the crappy Edge III ones if you want a better trem. You'll want to pull the anchors and studs out, redrill to fit the bigger higher quality ones to get the best performance.

Sorry to be slightly off topic...

Anyone know if the Edge Zero II can be replaced with an OFR or Edge Pro?

Thank you LonePhanom for you help!

So i can assume everything you told about the edge III cavity also holds true for the Edge Pro II cavity (my guitar is an RGT42dx Korean model of 2006, so it comes with the Edge Pro II, not the Edge III).

Well if the problem is the need of sanding the part of the wood on the back which is covered by the plastic. hum i think i can do it with no problem

Yeah, sorry, forgot it was Edge Pro II. Pretty much the same yes.

Everything can be replaced if you are willing to do the work. Edge Zero II to OFR or Edge Pro is going to involve a lot of extra work though. It's really not worth it considering the fact that the Edge Zero II is by all reports quite a good bridge.

Thats what I thought.

Cheers.
