I'm a longitme ibanez user and never had to replace the Edge Pro on my RG1570 even after nearly 18 years... but I regrettably sold that one.
Now I have the chance to buy another one, but the owner already told me he beat the crap out of that guitar and I am confident it will need a tremolo replacement.
An OEM Edge Pro is easily $290... and a Gotoh GE1996T is $100... arguably of same quality.
I'd spend the $290 if I must, but I wonder if there are other aftermarket options for me to entertain?
(I'm lefty, so lightly used parts might not be the option for me)
I saw the Floyd Rose 1000 ... seems promising, but I don't know if they make it in lefty... I'll ask
Am I stuck with replacing the Edge Pro with OEM parts then?
