Changing Bridge.......

[yellowmellow]

Hey,

I got a ibanez RG320dx
they bridge has some missing parts which are very inconvenient to ship in and all.
looking to change the entire bridge.
its got the ibanez edge pro 2 bridge,
anyone knows how much it'll cost to change the entire bridge to a similar one,
and where's the best place to do it.

thanks loadsssss

Probably Maestro in Peninsula Basement. Not sure if a FR would fit it though.

if you like the guitar a whole lot, I would say change it to a more expensive but more stable bridge. no point getting one that is $100 only to find that it goes out of tune easily.

If i am not mistaken, the route for that bridge is a little small. might not fit trems like gotoh. Might have to do some routing on your body which is of course an irreversible change. if changing the bridge itself and routing is gonna cost more than the guitar, I would say forget it and put ur guitar up for sale.

Yep, if any routing is to be done it'll probably be more worth it to sell your guitar and simply buy a higher end model with a better bridge.

noob question: when u all experience out of tune
is it because of the springs or the bridge plays a part too?

 

[relinquish69]

yup. especially those old oxidized springs

 

[eieio]

so its not the fr bridge?
any springs recommendation?
hard tension or stainless steel springs help?
