I just got an MIJ RG470 with a Lo-TRS tremolo, but with no bar. After some research, it looks as though the replacement bar is the threaded kind. I actually really dislike threaded bars, so my question is, can I replace the trem arm assembly on the Lo-TRS with a Schaller trem arm assembly? I...

Hello, I have a Lo-TRS trem. I am using 09-42 and guitar has 2 springs on it angled in this way / \. It is better to use this config or the standard | | ? I really like how loose is the use of the bar but the disadvantage is that the trem goes dows so easily during palm muting. If a use 2...

Hello: I got an RG470 from the year 2000. It comes with a Lo-TRS tremolo. I have the 7 strings version on 2 guitars and I never had any issues with it. But since I did not paid much for it, I may change it on the 6 string. I found this info here on the forum: Is this accurate? I also...

I just wanted to share my experience in resurrecting my Japanese RG470. It's a detailed step by step retrofit of the Lo-TRS tremolo with pics. Seemed too big to post here so I have created a standalone web page. Hope it is not a problem to just post a link to it ...

Hello, I'm looking for an upgrade for my S7420 - I've heard plenty of bad things about the Lo-TRS! Does anyone have a Lo-Pro 7? An original Floyd Rose 7? Or even an alternative improvement? I'm based in England, but willing to pay extra for shipping internationally. Please PM if possible...
