Edge Pro, Edge Pro II and Lo Pro (LVIk warning)

[FortePenance]

Yes, after yesterday I now own 3 tremolos, the latest being the Edge Pro. Soon to be 2 after Stitch buys the Lo Pro. I thought those pics were pretty metal (literally too). Order of appearance, left to right is Edge Pro II, Edge Pro then Lo Pro.

Comparison between the heights of the LoPro and Edge Pro.

Edge Pro will retrofit an Edge Pro II cavity

Lo Pro will not (hence selling it)

I love my LoPro Edge, I say: route the guitar

Edge fan ... on the top! ... you have just made Edge History is getting a whole line up ....

 

[Scali]

He's still missing the original Edge
And technically the ProRocker was the Edge's predecessor, Ibanez' first double-locking tremolo I believe.

 

[FortePenance]

I'm also missing the Edge III.

Also, I started a thread about the differences between the LP/EP here a while ago and if they're exactly the same, with only the LP feeling slightly different and with locking studs, i'm not going to bother since I like the feel of the EP just fine and the stud mod is done easily enough.

Lo Pro RULES

before you route the guitar you have to guage the difference in distance from the nut to the bridge on lo-pro and edge pro and see if the low pro can be set up at that distance, if it cant then youll have to just go with the edge pro as youd have HORRIBLE intonation otherwise

Thanks for the pics, I always asked myself whether it would work to change the trem for a different model.

does anyone know the answer to this or how to go about finding out. ive got a couple guitars with EPII's in it and i want to know if as long as i route it that itll work. how do i test them to see if itll be intonatable?

No probs man. I spent hrs trolling jemsite trying to find which trem retrofitted which cavity.

IIRC when macks (ibznorange) was installing his Lo-Pro in a 350DX or w/e, he just needed to shave off a little bit on the wings of the trem cavity.
