locking stud mod

Scenario: I get into Steve Vai 5 months ago. Mum becomaes a big fan. My last guitar was years ago. Out of nowhere she says do you want a JEM7VWH? AM I GONNA SAY NO!? I read about all the fantastic reviews and then read on teh Spec sheet of this site that it has a lo-pro and I thought if its...

Does the Edge Pro need to be level at both the treble and the bass side? In other words, will having my action set at 1.5mm on the treble side, and the action set at 2.5mm on the bass side, effect the Edges ability to stay in tune? I went to Riches post about setting up the Edge, and followed...

I've had a 470L for the longest time and for a while I considered upgrading it by adding new pickups, bridge and eventually a paint job......then I saw this for sale hehe and now my old 470's getting a nice clean and then she's up for sale. I'll probably stick some new pups in this thing...

Got me a RG320FM amber with a cool fat looking flame pattern but after years of playing 'real' Edge and lo pro Edge model trems on my Jems and some of my other Ibanez's I am not just 100% knocked out with the Edge III. What Edge trems will retrofit the Edge III? Will the 'original' Edge? The Lo...

I was wondering if it is possible to swap and edge-pro on an '03 VWH for a Lo-Pro without routing or anything? Since the VWH has the lion's claw wouldn't a Lo-Pro fit?

Hey everyone, I'm new to the Jemsite forums. I hope to become friends with everyone I meet, so cheers. :D Anyways, I've had my RGT42 for almost a year now, and I just have a couple of questions regarding mods I plan on getting done to it. Here goes! 1. I think the finish is very old; I only...

Hi you all ! I bought a Rg3120 last year, and there was a main problem on it. When pulled up or pushed down, the trem won't come back in its original position, making the string tension change and also, detune all the strings. I've read a lot on the forum, i've bought new studs (they should...

Hi all, I plan to change my 04 vwh's trem to a Lo-Pro. I plan to buy a chrome trem but what would be your advice on it... And I still can't make up my mind as to wheter I'm going to buy an original edge or Lo-Pro. So I need your opinions on that as well. I used them both but they both feel great...

Hi! Yesterday I bought a JEM 7 VWH VERY new, I opened the closed box myself! It has the 3 piece maple neck with walnut stripes, so it seems to be the 2005 model! The Locknut is screwed from the back. It plays very nice, but what happened is a real tragidy! First I´d like to say that I´m...

Checking first of all to see if this would interest anyone. My wife and I are trying to get moved to Nashville. We crunching some numbers. As I am crunching some options. Here's what I'm thinking. I have 2 RG1527cb's. 1 excellent condition no paint issues or dents. :) This one has black...

Some of you were probably curious about the new trem and pickups for 2005 so I thought I would give a review on my new rg350ex. So I finally recieved my 2005 rg350ex with the Edge III on saturday. First of all I got to say that the guitar is extremely sexy. I stared at it for about 30 minutes...

WTB: Ibanez with Edge-Pro, thicker 24-fret neck I'm looking for what for me would be the ideal Ibanez guitar: it would have the Edge Pro and a thicker neck (e.g. like the Ultra, not the Wizard). Also, 24 frets, not 22. Also, RG body shape: not R or S. Even if you don't have one, I've been...

Hi all. I'm new to the forums, but have been reading for two weeks or so. This site is a great resource! Anyway, on to the question. I've ordered a new RG Prestige (should arrive tomorrow) that comes with an Edge Pro trem, and of course has the new crappy, non-locking studs (Rich was out of...

hey i saw this on the ibanez site...it's on the lower end guitars. http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=RG320FM did they just rename the Edge Pro II or is this something new?

Would some owners of RG1527's be kind enough to post some pics? I just want to get a good look at the color of them.

I got an RG1527, and im a DIY type guy when it comes to guitars. i Got everything i need to do the mod, except the 8mm, 1.25 pitch socket head set screw. Where do i get these? and more importantly how do i grind them? once i can get that cleared up, i can take care of it.

hello all ive been being plauged with loss of note clarity with my guitar jem v7sbl 2k3 (new trem) for a while now i have tracked it down to my bridge being by problem when i removed the trem i notice that i can actually wiggle the studs inside the mounts quite a bit (there quite loose) like...

I'm sorry if this topic has been beaten to death already, but I'm a newbie here. I own several Jems with the original Edge trem and a couple with the Lo-Pro Edge (also I have one UV with the 7-saddle version of each). I actually prefer the original Edge for some reason, but I absolutely love...

Just got it last week, Love it

I'm unsure of exactly what the locking stud mod refers to, and I'm wondering if anyone would be able to explain it to me, and it's advantages. Most of all really is it worth having done on my 1527? cheers
