Floyd rose doesnt fit in edge 3 pocket!!!!

[leftyflip10]

ok so i ordered a OFR from Warmoth and installed it yesterday and the instillation of the tremolo was the hardest part. I had it part way in when as i was tightening the mounting studs down,i saw that the back spacing wasnt big enough for the OFR. So after seeing this, i got the dremel out and had to take a good 1-2cm out of the pocket.After doing this,it slipped right in! But, i had to do some dremeling in the very back of the pocket too,the string lock screws were hitting the wall of the reccess, so i took basically the paint off and it made enough room.

I just wanted people to know that if they are going to do a OFR swap on an Ibanez with a Edge 3 trem,it takes some work.

will have pics up later today :icon_thumright:

Good to know, but why did you replace the edge 3, I thought it was maybe better in functionality that an OFR

i repalced it because the blocks at the end of the string lock screws came out somehow.I proly couldnt find any to replace so i just bought a OFR.The edge really isnt that good anyways.
