Totally Ace inspired!

Awesome guitar!
Just wondering why she went with the Edge Zero instead of Edge Original/Lo Pro.......(She might prefer that over the others; not sure but I might have read that somewhere)
dont think so judging by the way it looked in the LACS tour video:

It's a ZR. She thinks ball bearing trems are more stable, she said it in the Andertons interview.
She should really try a proper knife-edge bridge. More range, easier to play, less energy transfer between strings...

I own both - the more range thing is because the strings are anchored further away from the point of rotation, and it's not solely a good thing - depending on setup the ZR can actually have more upwards range without fretting out,
and the downwards range is kind of meaningless since both designs allow the strings to be dumped to the point of slackness.
It does technically give more range but it also means the action changes when you use the tremolo - if you're pulling up on my RG550EX, it quite quickly frets out. There's nothing wrong with the setup and there isn't a ton of relief in the neck - it's just because the bridge lowers the action as the trem pulls them down into the cavity.
As for the rest... I honestly don't see a way for anything you said to be true. You're going to need to explain to me how on earth the ZR has more energy transfer between strings, because all I can see is saddles screwed down to a baseplate... just like knife edge bridges.
The trem bar itself is easier to play. It requires less effort, and it's less sensitive to minute changes in pressure, when you're doing a smooth dive. This is especially a problem with the ZR when it's fully floating. The taper is not what I would call easy to play either. You press a little and get a lot of change, and then you press some more, and you don't get much more. You press a lot and you get a few semitones.I also really don't see what you mean by easier to play
and the ZPS can be removed if you mean the bridge is harder to dump down to the body, which makes it feel just as slinky as an OE.

Man, this guitar has just planted itself in my head and will not leave. The execution on the piece itself is several degrees above inspired and has wrecked many of my future plans for acquiring different instruments. As far as inspiration goes well, it's made me look at guitars and building guitars from a completely new perspective. I like that S of hers quite a bit as well.
This seems to be the only shot of it in existence at the moment. Anyone know where I can get anymore info. on it at all?
Nita just posted a better pic:

All I know is that spec-wise, it's cherry sunburst, a trio of Gravity Storms, and an Edge Zero trem.
Nita actually replies on her FB page, usually to the top responses. See if you can ask her more about it.![]()
Any idea why she has the tape over the neck pickup on that S?
