i think ori FR is around Rm700.

anyway, the trick is to make sure the string has stretched. what i do is:
1. tune normally with new strings.
2. stretch the strings and retune.
3. lock and fine tune
4. leave it for about 24 hours
5. play some full bends on several location of the frets.
6. unlock and repeat step 2-3 again.
7.????
8.profit!!!

after that my guitar would stay in tune for weeks. it may still run off a bit, but not to the point where human ears can distinguish.

have you check the trem position? misalignment may contribute to tuning problem too. i heard the edge III trem isn't that good, but i don't think it's that bad though.

nope, the one i saw is your standard original FR. i think the price is quite standard even for schallers too.

on the same note, anyone know the price of ibanez zero-point trem? can we actually buy it separately?

that depends actually. my schaller license is dead stable 95% of the time. i think gotoh is ok too. it's those cheaper license stuff that's bad.

on that note, strings actually made some difference too. some string brands are not suitable for FR bridge. i can't recall where i read that though.

well, in my book, gotoh and schaller are somewhat on par with each other.
