So the other day it was mentioned in a forum that to adjust the action on an Original edge it was not necessary to release tension on the strings because its made out of high quality hardened steel. What are you opinions on this and also if I release the string tension when adjusting action do I also block the tremolo or let it sink into the body while I adjust? Also if you're releasing the string tension to adjust the tremolo and you do block it does blocking the bridge to preserve the 90 Degree angle negate the tension released by detuning the strings? I'd like to have a healthy conversation. Also just to add to said conversation I spoke with a Floyd Rose tech about this a while ago concerning a FRT 01000 series bridge which is also made out of hardened steel and he noted it was not necessary. I do realize these are different bridges made to different standards and what not but similar metals are used. Thought it might be worth mentioning. Thank you in advance I appreciate any and all input on this matter. I've heard so many different opinions on this its nuts.

Magnus, you have every reason to feel like that as you have as many 3rd world Ibanez as you do Fujigen, and all your Edge3 knife edges are deforming as I type just hanging on your wall, especially with 10's. If detuning everything you own works for you, great.
To the rest of the world, Edge, Lo Pro, Edge Pro, Edge Zero, and EZ2 guitars do not need to do anything more than turn the lubed stud [after unlocking of course].
But in the end everybody should follow their own path to feel comfortable adjusting as you see fit, which means being as careful or as careless as you want. You're the only one that has to be comfortable with your process and it doesn't matter what anybody else says to you.
That said, the rest of you may return to -
