Floyd Rose conversion on Ibanez RGD2127FX

[henryocq]

I’ve made it to change my fixed bridge in my original Ibanez RGD2127FX to Edge Zero-7 Tremolo Bridge and mods with EMG57/66,I’m Henry from Indonesia by the way \m/
Here’s before and after photos ...

Share your thoughts here,thanks guys

The title says Floyd Rose but I see a really expensive guitar routed out for an Edge Zero II?

Swapping for an RGD2127Z wasn't an option?

Looks like a solid job though. Congrats!

Hi,I think it so too,but it was so hard to look for OFR7 or maybe Ibanez Edge/Pro/LoPro in Indonesian guitar store,I have to order it via ebay,but with a few upgrade especially Japanese Ibanez tremolo spring this thing is good enough,thanks for the comment

Thanks Bro,not I’m not,it is the original colour from factory,I just route the body for tremolo bridge and resize the pickups slot for EMG who had a bigger size,that’s all

At first I’m really thinking of buying a OFR7 but I have to wait for the shipment from online shop like ebay about three weeks and I really can’t wait to try for this beautiful 7strings and what’s ready on my local shop only Edge Zero bridge,maybe I’ll look forward if this EZ really bring me down,lol,hope not,hey man thanks for the comment \m/

Looks nice! Like the little pad you made to fit the locking nut.

I want to hate it but you did a really clean job and it's your guitar. Curious on how the back looks though

That's cleaner than some actual Ibanez routes I've seen.

Superb work, looks pretty clean

I'd just worry about not being able to use the full range for adjusting the intonation on the low B string.

Yeah man thanks for sharing,after the route my luthier was concern about that too,lol,but after all the setup including the intonation setup,the low B is in the actuall intonation,so I won’t worries anymore \m/

Fuck that's clean. I can't hate, you did a proper job. Hope you enjoy it!

A mod that I would never do but the result is super clean.
Super good job!
