Ibanez Prestige RG2610E-BK......I blew all my cash on it ($1155), and can't really afford a pro set up at the moment (I didn't have time to wait for the store to set it up properly). The action is too high for my prefs. It's got a Edge Pro bridge (one of a few locking tremolo sytems Ibanez makes). The hight at the nut looks fine to me, jut need to do a final set up on the bridge I think. Could someone help me out with some instructions, or point me in the right directions. I've owed a guitar with a flloyd rose before, but I would like more knowledge on this type of bridge just in case there are any differences I didn't notice before I dive in. Thanks ps- this is just to tie me over, before I can have someone professionally do it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

On the both side of the bridge, there are two little signs, just match them to the top of guitar. Then push the low E string at the first and last fret and look at the space from the string and the fret at the 8th fret. There will be a 1 or 1.5 mm in a good setup neck. If less or more, just adjust the trussroad. I hope you understand my Italianish...Bye. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

And WOW for staying in tune!!!, I was doing dive bombs all night (practicing them), and it was still in tune after!! 1000x better than the Floyd Rose was.
