Ibanez Edge Iii Question Options

[WTN]

Just bought an Ibanex RG370DX. I know the manual (page 20) says to adjust the spring tension to keep the tremolo assembly in parallel with the guitar body, but what part of the tremolo assembly am I supposed to use to line it up. There is an obvious one using the bottom base plate, but I have read where that is wrong.
The manual shows (poorly) that the line is drawn right to the left of the fine tuners. And yes there is a very small area there that I could use as a base for a parallel line to align with the guitar body - is this it? The picture shows the line cutting through a "hump" which is what is confusing me. There is no hump on my RG370.

Tis unfortunate, you might just have been unlucky with the purchase.

Floating trems are a bit of a nuisance, I was considering buying a guitar with one but its such a fiddly process what with the tension, itonation and the action to adjust being so complicated I'm not sure if they're worth the hassle considering they normally end up being a bit of a gimmick anyway.

If your not having much luck with it yourself I suppose you could always get it professionally setup? And if that still doesnt meet with your satisfaction it probably is only worth sending it back.

No doubt I will send it back - Probably in better shape that it arrived - but still useless.
