Locking Bridge
FX EDGE, FX EDGE III -FIXED BRIDGE
The Ibanez FX-Edge Bridge is a fixed, double locking bridge, based on
the popular Ibanez Lo-Pro Edge Tremolo. Please read the instructions
below regarding the use and proper adjustment of the bridge.
THREE STUD SYSTEM
Three studs support the FX-Edge Bridge; two main studs and one
smaller, rear stud. The rear stud helps to lock the bridge in place and
also passes additional string vibration through the body.
STRING HEIGHT ADJUNSTMENT
String height can be adjusted by raising or lowering all three studs.
After adjusting the height of the two main studs, the rear stud must be
compensated by using the provided 3mm Allen key to keep the angle
of the bridge in proper alignment. (The bridge should sit parallel to the
body.)
NOTE
*Although the string height of the guitar can be raised or lowered up to 0.3mm to 0.5mm with a rotation of the studs, it is recommended
that the adjustments be made in smaller increments.
*The string height may change after the final adjustment of the rear stud. It is recommended to check the final string height after the rear
stud is adjusted.
Locking Tremolos
EDGE III TREMOLO
TREMOLO ARM INSTALLATION
The tremolo arm can be inserted and removed very easily. Insert the arm into the
armhole on the tremolo base plate. Pull up on the arm to remove it.
ARM ROTATION TORQUE
The rotation torque of the arm can be adjusted by raising the tremolo and
inserting a 1.5mm Allen wrench in the screw (A) on the tremolo block, turning this
screw clockwise will tighten the arm torque and turning the screw counter
clockwise will loosen the arm torque.
