On luther classifieds, there is a Schaller Floyd Rose for sale. I have contacted the buyer and he actually qouted a very reasonable amount for a new-in-box item that retails for $375.

I was considering the trem for myself if it had a shorter than 41mm trem block (to fit my Sabre properly) but it does not... it has the 41mm trem block.

If you want a solid upgrade that is a direct fit, here's your chance. You wouldn't regret it... better tuning stability. trem feel and overall improvement in TONE.

For S series users with the TRS, this trem will be a direct fit too, however, the trem block will stick out of the bottom of the guitar. Its minor but you can't cover the cavity.

For RG owners, a good chance its a direct fit, no nothing to do... but note, due to manufacturing tolerences, you might get the same problem as the S series but to a much lesser scale, which IMO, is negligible.

Do check it out TRS Users and breath new life into your ailing axes! :)
 
argh... no credit card!!!! btw shredcow? isnt ur S-series ibanez equipped with the zero resistance trem? how come u are saying that yours is a trs trem? i am confused..
 
Mine is a 2002 model, the year that most ibanez guitars came with the original Edge trem (strangely) and yeah... mine has the holy grail of Floyd Roses.

However, it was in Ibanez's weakest finish, cosmo, and being my only electric, i played it to death... cosmo wore off in a matter of wks, steel started to bubble, then rust...

So because of vainity, I bought a gotoh and swapped it. SGD250 compared to SGD370 ain't a bad thing.
 
i got my gotoh 2nd hand from someone real cheap. got at $100. but it's 5 years old though, BUT still working damn well! my strings hardly go out of tune after whammy now! but it's black not chrome, but looks nicer with my guitar!

btw shredcow stupid audacity screwing up my recording! :twisted:
 
Yes, you have to order overseas. But its well worth it.

I mean, granted... risks of online ordering, risks of shipping... then... minor risk it might not fit very well (actually its very minor, if need be, sand a bit here and there can liao) ...

on the other hand... when its in...
Superior tuning stability. I didn't have to unlock my nut for 1 1/2 mths.
Superior feel compared to TRS. Smoother, more responsive
Looks so much nicer. :)

Either the Schaller or Gotoh... or Original Floyd Rose.
 
I will sell my gotoh soon anyway... after I get to purchase an original Edge in chrome from Ibanezrules. USD240, OUCH.

Tany, heh... try nTrack.
 
Much better and much more stable?

I wouldn't say MUCH... but the schaller is better.

How much better, I cannot give you a guage.

Anyway, if your EdgeIII is serviing you well, is there a need to swap?
 
Hahaha... :) Shall see... gotta raise funds for the Edge. Just raised enough for a Malcom refret. :) So yeah... back to square 1 once I commit to the refret.
