I noticed you didn’t demonstrate the use of the trem in the video. I have found that the additional size of this block requires additional clearanceing of the Tremelo cavity to retain upward pull capability with the Edge Pro. This can be done by routing the cavity a little more or by rounding off the corners of the block. This is a pretty big deal so I thought I would mention it since you didn’t. Thanks.

If you put a spacer on the other side of the brass block you can loosen the springs ,let the string tension hold the block. Once in tune turn on your tuner tighten the springs until the spacer gets loos tighten the springs to perfect pitch. Now you haven't stretched the crap out of your springs. It will stay in tune longer.

I've always done the same thing. A stack of pennies with some tape around them is perfect to block off the trem's block and get the trem sitting perfectly. Once everything is in tune and intonated, I slowly tighten both screws of the trem claw about a quarter turn little by little until the stack of pennies just barely slips out. From there, I do some more string stretching and fine tuning until everything is setup and intonated as perfectly as can be. I've been playing for close to 35 years and the method I use to setup floating trems has always worked wonders. Another good thing about blocking off the trem on the other side of the block (side facing away from head of neck) is you can quickly put those pennies or a correctly sized block of wood back and loosen the trem claw/springs the tiniest bit and have a blocked trem if you don't want to use the trem and like fixed bridges.

that's difference as night an day. nice video on how to rework the full tremolo, strings and intonation. just starting my journey into playing electric guitar, and found myself buying a floating tremolo guitar (Ibanez GGT6EX with I believe Edge III), later to find that this is harder to set-up. I like a challenge now and then but this video is definitely going to help me and already given some insight. Might pick up a block later on.

As far as I know Edge Tremolos shouldn't be leveled the same way as a Floyd Rose (body of the guitar parallel with the surface of the blade). The Edge blade is built differently. It has a small rectangle in the sides as a reference.

It looks like the block is a little thicker than the original. Does that affect the range of the trem at all? I have multiple Edge Pro guitars I'd like to upgrade, but just want to make sure the tremolo range won't be affected. Also I'm sure you already are aware, but with the Edge Pro trem you don't actually have to cut off the ball ends...the fit right into the saddle.

like what FU tone said, its very likely not worth it... without the experience in routing your guitar body and having the prior knowledge of whether to choose between shimming your adjusting you neck pocket depth angle or shimming your neck before install. the neck angle in relation to the trems' placement (flush or top mounted) has to be done right or the guitar will never stay in tune, intonate right, or ever keep the right string vs spring tension. there are plenty of entry level guitars that already have the major work done for you, and replacing or rebuilding the provided licensed floyd or similar is definitely the less painful choice to make.

Hey, great insight. Thanks! May I ask - I have pretty old Ibanez guitar (~20 y/o) with Edge Pro 2 bridge and I've never changed springs at the back. My concern is that the spring claw is not paralleled to bridge block. Is this an issue? Should it be parallel? Does it mean springs are fatigued? I'm troubleshooting why my guitar lose tune after pulling/pressing my Edge Pro 2 arm. Cheers!

I don't know if you have solved this already, but check the knife edges of your bridge, they should look sharp. Also look into the posts where the bridge pivots, they get damaged and show some grooves. Spring replacement may help too. Don't worry about the springs position as long as they don't touch the guitar body.
