In the untold story Ibanez book, it mentions that there was a design flaw with the nut with Ibanez's Edge interpretation of the OFR, and that Kramer didn't want Ibanez to find out, but Mr Floyd Rose pointed it out to Ibanez.


Anyone know more details about what the problem was?

Was it just really as simple as tightening the locks the wrong way around? I saw it too, but I thought it must have been something more than that.

Cool, thanks for the answer!


I too, was looking at the b string thinking something was causing that, but the rest of the pictures just show its just a normal broken string.

I find it remarkable that Ibanez up to and including 1990 would feature these incorrectly mounted/cast TopLok IIIs in their catalogues, did they really use them that long?:

Even worse, when I first bought my Jem ('91) my engineering eye immediately noticed the TopLok in old catalogue was mounted differently and that the 1991 way should be correct. Kinda makes you wonder what they were doing al those years, considering the Edge was 5years old in 1991:

the result is that you can still find people who do them up the wrong way, as evidenced on this site sometimes.

Kramer! The biggest "what if" in guitar history!
What if... we got EVH to actually sit down and create a real sig guitar?
What if... we landed Steve Vai?
What if... we decided to care about quality on our low-mid range guitars rather than allow our reputation to be ruined?
Sad really.... they could have been a contender! They could've been somebody! :D
