to sum up for May, 2020:
Edge Pro is still the only direct drop-in/no mod replacement for Edge III?

ps: not only expensive, that is ok...but even more annoying thing is that edge pro demands a mod on its own...not talking about the locking studs, but Schaller term arm mod...because stock pop in mechanism is not working... i had a new one, and simply it was impossible, even with new bushings and perfect set up, to have it locked tight in place...
i had a fresh new rg1570, mirage red back in the time..and prior strapping a guitar, i had to put fkn parts of nylon bag on pop-in slot..that was the one-time solution...and became teh practice...
edge/lo pro/edge pro..they all have this flaw, which is not small in my book... id always go for OFR collar type, but no one asked me

Let's sum it up further.

"Because I don't know how to heat the bushings to keep them tight I'm going to blame the system I don't understand how to use."

Yes..heating the bushings is much easier than simply attaching the arm at wanted tightness...
Even my lo-trs-2 did that perfectly

I've read just as many complaints about the collar moving with the bar and not keeping the right torque, so yes, heating them is easier, if you know what you're doing.

On topic regarding EDGE III..
I have contacted Floyd Rose Support today in order to find out if they have possibly some useful information...
This is the response that i have received:

"Hello there

The Floyd Rose original will drop right into the edge route. You will have to use your current bridge post as ours have different threads. The nut you will need is the R10. "

In order to clarify if the Edge in reply is referring to Edge 3, i have sent an email...
here is the answer...:

"The Floyd will fit in place of all of the edge bridges we’ve seen. Including the 2 and 3. The post are 74mm apart same as the Floyd Rose original."

I do not have knowledge of the measurements, so i am just forwarding that here with hope it may be useful

I never had a problem... but 15 euro Schaller OFR bar solved that to a few people i have recommended...
It also solved the Edge/Lo Pro Edge as i am sure you know very well..

But to each its own..

The only complaint that's real is the cost of the replacement bushings. If you want to bitch about that I'd be by your side. Otherwise, there is no problem with the push in setup if you know what you're doing, and the bushings will last a long time if handled right.

I've replaced an edge 3 with an ofr and it won't return to pitch after using the trem arm. It goes ever so slightly sharp if I sharpen the notes and returns to normal pitch if I flatten the notes!
I'm thinking it's the original edge 3 bridge posts/studs that are the issue because the ofr is brand new!
Any advice on what to do or where to buy a better non-invasice replacement would be appreciated!

I think I recall in this chat or another one about the Edge III, that someone found maybe the schaller posts fitted the Edge III bushings. It may be worth doing a search around the forum. It was some time ago though.

Sir, What about a edge zero II on Ibanez 370AHMZ-BMT, what type of schaller I should order?

If the trem won’t return to pitch, try replacing the springs. I have the same bridge. I used Floyd Rose extra strength springs to replace the Ibanez factory springs which suck. Perfect return to pitch after that.
