I think Bentley shud have it since they have a wide range of Ibanez, but the question you should ask is whether you have time to check around in other places that most likely can get sell it at a cheaper price..

agreed... the nearest would be here at LYN. Btw if you like floating bridge (double-locking trem), I personally think ibanez edge variants are okay (ori edge or edge pro wll definetely cost more - try edge pro II or edge III). Its not that bad actually. Give it a try first.. Do you play like herman li?

blacktrix: On which trem variant did you try that? If its on Edge, I guess you really made a super flat dive bomb!!!

Overall, the RG is still a good axe for metal that fits his budget. Having a floating bridge will at least give him the chance to try out techniques like dive-bombs. Sure, he'll have to keep his paws on the fine tuners every once in a while, but that's better than not having a floating trem at all...

My RM0.24.
Yeah.. agreed.. And he'll eventually learn how to (painfully?) set up the guitar first.. (well at least he'll spend more time with his guitar)

Oh, do take this with a pinch of salt since it's coming from a guy who has 2 guitars with floating trems that are only used to stretch strings...  laugh.gif

Seconded from a guy who has 3 guitars with cheapo LFR laugh.gif

No kidding!  sweat.gif

But I think the Edge trems are easier to re-string than LFRs... but setting it up? Gee, there's always Tham....  rclxms.gif

well, we cant always depend on Tham tongue.gif (actually, no money to send to him). We can learn slowly how to restring, setting height, truss rod adjustment, intonation... look for help on google.. heheh... Btw, I have 1 edge pro II, 1 lo-trs, 1 ordinary LFR. IMO, the only noticeable different on EDGE compared to other LFR is we need not to cut the ball-end of the string.. everything else are still the same... The best thing on Ibanez guitar is that we can set the action very low (mine at 2mm on 24th fret - low E, learn it from ibanezrules.com).
