But then again, it all depends on how much you use it/maintain it.
The EDGE III, say what you want, can still deliver a great double-locking trem system for a fraction of the cost. Comparatively with some of the other licensed trem, the edge III still has better tuning and sustain. I know a few of the earlier LTD models had problems with the licensed trem also.....

But then, it all boils down on how well you maintain and the level of abuse you put it through. My RR3 Licensed Trem still holds fine (Fingers crossed) and still has great stability and sustain. I WAS planning to upgrade it to an OFR, but so far I'm soooooo happy with the trem, why bother with perfection?

In that case, if you properly take care of it, the Edge III will be fine.

Take it to a professional luthier to get it re-setup.

Ummmmm. Edge Zero mentioned alot on the Ibanez Egen..... you know...... the guitar I've been raving about for a damn long time?? Which I hope you can order in for me? IF I can afford it? Hahahahaha........
