Buddy needs a replacement trem bar

[Chris]

Any of you know of a site that sells 'em?

There's a few of the push-in types on eBay, but he needs the Lo-TRS II (I believe) screw-shroud type for an RG3xx.

 

[Shikaru]

are you sure it's a lo-trs II? I have an RG370dx and it's an edge-pro II i think. Not sure if that makes a difference. I'm pretty sure they sell replacement trem bars at Ibanez Rules

Pardon, he has an S370 DX. IR doesn't carry his bar.

 

[Chris]

Nevermind.

Thanks for the help Chris. If that doesn't work, I will be selling it and getting a 7 string

Just for reference, if worse comes to worse, You can take out the whole whammy bar assembly (The part that holds the bar to the bridge) and replace it with the one that will come with the New bar.

Also just for reference:
pre-2003 370's had TRS-II's, and ones before that had standard TRS' that had a weird assembly where the bar screwed into the mount without a screw sleeve, almost like a strat bar.

So the arm I bought won't work then?

Hah, I never considered that. Two screws or so to replace the nut with the push-in sleeve, yea?

I don't think that fender brand one is gonna fit. My guitar center carries both styles of Ibanez replacement bars. I bought 2 lo pro, pop in types for spares and it came with extra bushings. They don't have the newer bar ( ZR is different I thinik ) styles yet..
I was surprized they even had this considering how hard it is to locate online..

It probably will, but i'm just saying if it doesnt, you can make it work

Yeah dude, to take it out, you'll have to free the bridge, then turn it over. There will be a nut holding it on, just loosen the nut and it should come out, and you can stick the Floyd style one in there. There's a guy on Jemsite that does that with RG550's.

If this one doesnt work, am I able to order one through you?

I've used a Fender bar in a Lo-TRS trem before - not perfect, but it works.

I think I eventually overtightened it and broke the thing, though - good thing it was a 6-string.
