I had to do it once so far on my RG series Ibanez.
The manual wasn't really of great help, quite a nightmare to change the strings for the first time really, until I figured it out (or at least a way how to do it).
First I removed all 3 locking nuts.
Then I replaced one string after another, and tuned each string immediately after replacing it, also reset the finetuners while I was at it, since some were running out of room.
I then waited till next day so the strings could stretch a bit.
Tuned the guitar again in the morning, took me ~45ish minutes.
Played a bit, checked tuning again, and only then installed the locking nuts again.
You should only need the fine tuners until you need to replace the strings again.
The edge iii is nice I guess, but it overcomplicates things for a beginner such as myself.
I bought my guitar in used condition, since I was only starting out and needed a guitar of my own.
It sounded nice, and felt quite comfortable at the time, and since I got a good deal on it I took it.
Thinking back it would have probably been a better idea to buy another guitar, but I didn't have the knowledge at the time.
It's fine now though, that I got used to it, and I really like my RG.
I really need to get a second one though, without a floating tremolo, changing the tuning on the RG takes forever
