Edge pro vs ZR trem?
- Thread starter platypus

Both good =D But ZR trem more innovative and utilises ball bearings while the edge pro more orthodox and utilises knife edges. In this sense the ZR trem should have a longer life span as ball bearings simply last longer than knife edges by nature.
But ZR is heavier and being more unorthodox, it may not be as easy to find replacement parts for.
Hope this helps :wink:

save the headache, just get those Ibanez guitars with the original edge or the lo-pro edge :lol: .
if you like RG shaped Ibanez guitars, you die die also have to take edge pro. likewise for S series, if you like also die die have to take the ZR trem.
from what I see, you are picking a guitar based on its trem. thats...... quite a weird way to decide on a guitar. I mean, I thought the sound & feel should be more important than the trem itself. well, just my honest opinion.
alright, back to the topic. if I were to choose, I would say that the edge pro is smoother as compared to the ZR. however, the ZR would most definitely stay in tune better than the edge pro due to the technology etc etc.
super subjective issue I must say, there would be people who would claim the direct opposite is right.

giving the thread starter the benefit of the doubt, he might be equally at home with several Ibanez guitars, he's now narrowing down some bridge type issues, which is a wise consideration. however, like the above post suggested, do not pick a guitar based primarily on the default bridge unit.
in terms of tuning stability, both a re reputable. however, the ZR unit benefits from an in-built trem setter, a mechanism which prevents the bridge from slackening (& rendering the guitar out of tune) upon the snapping of a string.
