What makes an Edge Pro 2 (or any of the cheaper Ibanez tremolos) cheap?? I'd like to know because rite now i have an Edge Pro 2 that needs a desperate replacement, but instead of replacing the WHOLE thing, I was thinking of just replacing the parts that NEED replacing (ex.: saddles, bridge studs, etc..)

Anyone?? Thanks

Generally, cheaper trems are made of softer metal. The main problem is wearing on the knife edges. When they are worn they don't return to the same position after use.

Listen to the wise words of Matheau, it will probably end up costing more to upgrade the parts on your current trem than it would to replace it altogether, and even with upgrades, it will never be as good as the real deal.

Rock on!
