    the edge pro 2 is very poor. ive had it setup but is still stiff. Is it just because of its korean cheap origin. are edge lo pros a lot better

    People sure do trash talk about these but I have never had any problems with them, mine stay in tune perfectly. I dive bomb and pull notes and squeals all day dong and it still sounds good. I know they are supposedly the low end trems but I have had good experiences with them. Anyone else...

    Hi. I've been playing an RG550 for years. I think it's a 1990 (headstock same colour as body and V2, S1 and V1 pickups.) I've been offered an RG470 but I'm having difficulty finding the spec. I'm pretty sure the headstock would be black even though the body's Reactor Blue. I can't find any...

    First let me say I'm a huge Ibanez fan. Now my pet peev.... Why do they change parts so much? If the Edge trem was better than the TRS why use it, then go to another version of the Edge. The dumbest thing is the trem are not interchangable from what I understand. Theres about five guitars I...

    How do the Japanese RG's 470, 550, 570, 750, 770, etc. compair to the new prestiege models. Other than the bridge and pickups I don't see much difference. Both seem to play as well as the other?

    Does anyone have any experience with the Edge Pro II trem? I tried doing a search but there were far too many results. I'm thinking about getting an RGT-42 (?) because I want a neck through model. Is the Edge Pro II at all useable? I've heard many different things but I think a few of those...

    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...

    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'm trying to find confirmation that you can put a Lo-Pro Edge trem straight into a standard Edge equipped guitar without any modifications. Would I be correct in this assumption or am I badly mistaken? Thanks........Dave.

    I got my Original Floyd today and replaced the LoTRSII. It is a direct swap. Even the stud inserts are the same size. I installed the Floyd inserts and they have a lot less slop than the LoTRS pieces. Before pic: Removing the old stud inserts: New studs installed: Test fitting the OFR:

    i've been looking at the pro series A+ limited line of japanese Charvels lately and really like what i'm reading. the only big difference i'm seeing on these limited series guitars is the trem is a JT-580. is that a good trem? if it is sub-par, would it be easy to drop in an original Floyd? all...

    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?

    Hey...i jsut need some advice. A guy who owns a guitar shop near me wants to sell me his own Jem 555 for around $500C and he has had a lot of ibanez guitars and knows a lot about them. I really wanted it because it looked in great condition and sounded good, the only thing is i was reading some...

    Hi guys. Have anyone swap the washburn 600s to an original floyd or floyd pro with good result? I'm think of doing it on a N3. And my research turns up that the 600s is pretty much a generic TRS or TRS pro with the washburn brand name on it. Also, the TRS and TRS pro (I assume the 600s has...

    Has anyone out there taken the Edge trem - and it's rather annoying trem arm system and replaced it with a good old fashioned Floyd Rose one ? You see i dont like the Edge trem, and i'd really like to stick a nice shiny Gold Floyd Rose on my RG550 but i'm curious if they are the same size etc...

    hey guys, I have a chance to buy a newer rg series guitar because i have decided that I want to have at least one guitar with a working trem(my 2 other ibanez have blocked trems). The guy who is selling it got it to learn on and then, all most as soon as he got it, he decided he didn't want...
