And i cannot believe that they have weak spots or whatever that could make them fall appart. Have you seen Herman Li doing whammy harmonics by lifting the whole guitar just with his tremolo? Those Bridges can take a lot and that's why I think those rumors you heard are made up by Ibanez-haters. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

That's exactly the problem. The knife edges (on which the bridge pivots) will flatten or wear out. Unfortunately they put the edge 3 on a couple guitars I would have otherwise considered buying (Xiphos and RGT42). You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Nah its just the Edge III mate, Herman uses a guitar based on the Ibanez S series these days which use Zero Resistance tremolo's, these use ball bearings so dont break as easily due to less friction. All other Ibanez trem's are fine, its just botox says the Edge III's are made with soft metal parts so are known to wear down rather fast with extended use.
