Edge Zero is a ball of Chinese scrap. Even set to floating, it's not on the same level as the Edge Pro.

 

I'd say Edge Pro is better, even though Herman Li would disagree with darren lol.

But Edge Pro gets my vote by faer.

His sig Ibanez is about $2000. The same price a J Custom.
Don't think it would be anywhere near as good as a J Custom.
Maybe way overpriced, just like Vai's jems.

 

No contest. Except for the intonation tool and arm tension adjuster the Edge zero blows.

I have both , an EZ on an RGT320 and an EP on a RG1550. Unfortunately the EZ studs are a different spacing than the EP so an easy swap is out.

 

Try living in Canada where the MSRP is $4000 (for the egen and more for the jem). Then add taxes. Bastards.

 

haha try living in Australia then, RRP for both the EGEN and JEM for 2009 is $6295, which would put street price still around the $4800-$5000 mark. Although the chance to pick up old stock at a better price still exists.

 

Im puttin my vote in for the Zero. Ive been beating the crap outta mine for a week and its taken it all and come back in tune. Now how it will last in the long run well that remains to be seen but for now its workin just fine for me.

 

the Edge is better than both of them

 

Why ?

I am thinking of swapping my EZand I havent decided to go with Edge or EP. I dont have an Edge, But I have an Edge Pro and Lo pro on a 7string.

Doesn't the EGEN have "special" studs to improve tuning stability on some of Herman's great whammy bar tricks. Im not big on on the Edge pro either, im an lo-pro guy but between the to im taking the pro.

 

Gibralter FTW!!!!!

 

Edge Pro

 

my vote to edge pro,
it is a bridge that you can trust it.

 

I've never used a Zero but the edge pro is the best trem system I've ever used. Including the Edge, which is amazing.

 

I was wondering if you guys ever use both of em before instead of "Oh well... I'll vote edge pro cos I got one and using it and it's real good" but happen to not tried the edge zero. I didn't vote cos I've never tried edge zero....

 

It is too early to say, really.
It needs much more time and playing to be properly evaluated.

So easy to be against new things just based on being more used to the old version.

Excluding the EDGE Zero (I have not used it enough yet) are the EDGE Pro the best tremolo Ibanez have done, in my opinion.
The EDGE, Low Pro EDGE and EDGE Pro all stay in tune the same, but the EDGE Pro last longer (in my opinion, again).

In free floating the EZ is more pliable than even the Edge. It's most likely the 2 weaker very open springs that make it feel very spongy when using the bar. I have no issues with it's stability in free float at all, but several issues with other aspects of it.

 

Edge Zero just felt nicer against my palm. Dunno about reliability or anything though.

 

What I like about the EZ on my Jcustom is
a) It Does stay in tune period.
and b) You can hold a bend without having the other strings go flat -which makes a great trem on its own.
As for comfort i kinda prefer the edge on my RG750.
But Rich tell someone to make decent fine tuners so we can replace the rediculous ones that are in place now. That's my only issue. By the way i only use it in free float.

I have not tried the Zero but if this is correct then it gets my vote

 

i remember some polls like this some years ago, "Edge vs. EdgePro" and almost all the people were like "EdgePro is super cr*p!". and now it magically turned out to be even better than the almighty original Edge.

i can see some years in future, when Ibanez will put out a new trem, say, the UltraEdge, and i can bet the poll "EdgeZero vs. UltraEdge" will be reading plenty of comments like "the EdgeZero is the best trem Ibanez ever made, f*ck the UltraEdge!"... bah

 

So true!

Thats what I mean with "it needs more time".

How are you, by the way?
I have a new guitar you should see...

I am not a huge whammy guy, although I do some dives and pulls, flutters, and vibrato with it. Playing on both (neither I currently own) for the limited time that I have, I really was more concerned about palm comfortablity. But slamming on them they both were fine to me. So past that, would be more the quality of either unit, and I am not one to comment on that. But the intonation tool is a cool idea, and I agree with above, when are they going to come up with better fine tuners?

 

personally i have try both.in my opinion the E.P is better.everyone have different view about anything,but you have try it to have an opinion.

 

Love the Edge Zero. Works great and stays in tune perfectly on all 3 of my J-Customs.

 

My Edge Pro has given me NOTHING but trouble. Won't stay in tune even with a mild dive. lol.

 

Setup problem.

 

my 2570 has the Edge Zero, I've had it for close to 2 years now and it has performed flawlessly. I use 09's and play in standard E tuning. I do a fair bit of dives, pulls and flutters and I gotta say this guitar just refuses to go out of tune. I'm tuning my fixed bridge guitars all the time, but I can play for days without tuning my 2570. It always suprprises me when I DO go to tune it and everything is bang on or needs just a slight tweek with the fine tuners. I may be in the minority but I love the Edge Zero.

 

I have a RG2550Z Prestige

I've have to say i do find the Edge Zero a bit difficult to do pull ups with, especially harmonic scream's. I haven't tried the Edge Pro but what is the main diferance between them?

There both Knife Edge and floating

 

I have a RG2550Z Prestige

Interesting thread as I'm about to pull the trigger on a RG2550Z...

Got a Edge7 on my RG7620, will I like the EdgeZero???

 

does the bar on the edge zero swing loose like the edge pro...cause that blows

 

no, there are no nylon washer on it. there's a washer that you tighten depending on how much you want it to swing. it can be as tight so that it doesn't move at all basically.

 

No the bar is tight as hell! no way your gonna brake with all the abuse i've done.

I'am considering changing the Edge Zero with a Edge Pro, have to see if it fits of course...

 

It doesnt - dissimilar stud spacing.
