If so, what are some recommendations? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

ATM you have the "edge" tremolo wich is lower quality thus probably why it broke. How much should I pay for one and where does one recommend I buy?

If you consider something else, bare in mind you'll probably have to modify the bridge cavity, since a lot of FR-style bridges vary in dimensions. Btw, how that happened?

I would definitley take it up with the manufacturer! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You could upgrade to an Ibanez 'Edge Pro' or replace with an original Floyd Rose. As Damir mentioned, just make sure that the dimensions will suit. Especially the measurement between the pivot posts! I think you can swap it out for a Floyd 'Speedloader' too! No more cutting string ends!! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I have no idea how it happened. I never use the trem bar on it. Sometimes I pull up on the trem. with my fingers for a little effect but never hard enough to do something like that. I have heard of this happening before but I was shocked to see it happen to mine. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

I have heard of this happening before but I was shocked to see it happen to mine. That's weird. Those things should take years of abuse, and usually the knife edges go out first... Judging from the pictures, the broken part seems to be very close to the pivot point, maybe some increased friction was the cause of the problem. Make sure you replace the pivot points too when replacing the bridge. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
