I recieved it as a gift from a friend
 And his warranty has long since been expired :[ So am I to guess that the Low Profile bridge wont be an option for replacement? |

Would you say an Edge Pro is significantly better than the ZR-2 bridges they are putting in now?

Maybe check the floyd rose wiki, it contains some of these bridges as well. Maybe it can help?

Never tried a lo trs myself, but I've heard that they're piss poor trems and should be avoided at all costs.
Edit: Here's a page showing the interchangeability of different Ibby trems and the OFR. The text is in Italian, but the pics alone tells the story pretty well. This post has been edited by botoxfox: Jul 21 2008, 07:31 PM |

The Ibanez S series sports the new ZR-2 bridge.
 Edge is derived from Floyd Rose and is similar in operation. ZR is derived from Edge, but is similar to a Kahler. ZR is smoother, Edge more agressive. Wikipedia is your friend!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez_ZR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez_Edge I found some old info here: http://www.jemsite.com/news/edge2003/index.htm -------------------- QUOTE ("Steve Vai") Start by playing something - a bend, a riff, a scale, a song - very slowly; if you make a mistake, start over; do this over and over, until you can play it flawlessly - and I do mean flawlessly - many times in a row. Next, gradually increase the tempo. Eventually you'll be flailing like a madman. |

The ZR trem sounds like a great improvement, and the ball bearing pivot is something I've always wondered why they don't implement.
"The difference between Edge Zero and ZR Trems is that ZR trems use ball-bearings for pivots, while the Edge uses the traditional knife edge. Over the course of playing, a knife edge may dull, resulting in declining tuning stability (although it takes a few years for knife edges to dull enough to cause a problem, and they can be sharpened fairly easily)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez_Edge http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibanez_ZR -------------------- Schecter C1 Hellraiser EMG 81/85, replaced with JB/Jazz (SH4/SH2n) w. coilsplit Schecter Revenger HB-105, replaced with EMG 81/85 Stratocaster Deluxe Players Noiseless Ibanez 2550z Blackstar HT5H, Blackheart BH5H w.
