[. . . ] EDGE III TrEmolo The Edge III Tremolo is an Ibanez original tremolo that features fine-tuners, much like the Lo-Pro Edge, and provides extraordinary strength and tuning stability. The Edge III Tremolo offers features that are required for a double-locking tremolo, and successfully combines Ibanez's original ideas with its unique appearance. Attaching the tremolo arm The tremolo arm can be inserted and removed easily. To adjust the torque of the tremolo arm, use a 2 mm Allen key to turn the torque adjustment screw (Fig. 1 B) through the adjustment hole in the side of the base plate attached to the back of the arm socket. [. . . ] If the tremolo is tilted backward, turn the spring adjustment knob counterclockwise to loosen the spring. When adjusting the tremolo angle in the floating state, the balance between the tension of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs changes each time the tension of the spring is adjusted. 6 Adjusting the action Adjust the height of the tremolo unit by turning the stud lock screws (Fig. Note that it is not possible to adjust the height of individual strings. H G J Edge-Zero H G J ZR-2 Fig. 7 Stud lock mechanism (Edge Zero tremolo) The Edge Zero tremolo has a stud lock mechanism. Install the stud lock bolts into the holes in the bottom of each stud bolt with the adjustment holes for an Allen key facing up.

After tuning, tighten the pressure pad screw on the locking nut. Fig. 10 Caution Before you tune a string, make sure that the string stopper screw is firmly tightened. Fine tuning After locking the locking nut, fine tuning of each string can be carried by using fine tuners. To allow maximum fine tuning adjustment, it is recommended that the fine tuners (Fig. 7 G) be set to the middle position of the range of the movement before tuning. Fig. 11 FX EDGE BRIDGE/FX EDGE III-8 BRIDGE The FX EDGE/FX EDGE III-8 bridge is a locking fixed bridge that was developed based on the Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge and Edge III Tremolo.

[. . . ] If the tremolo is tilted backward, turn the spring adjustment knob counterclockwise to loosen the spring. When adjusting the tremolo angle that is in a floating state, the balance between the tension of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs changes each time the tension of the spring is adjusted, Thus, adjustments should affect tuning. 4 Adjusting the action Adjust the height of the tremolo unit by turning the stud lock screws (Fig. Note that it is not possible to adjust the height of individual strings.
