[. . . ] EDGE III TrEmolo The Edge III Tremolo is an Ibanez original tremolo that features fine-tuners, much like the Lo-Pro Edge, and provides extraordinary strength and tuning stability. The Edge III Tremolo offers features that are required for a double-locking tremolo, and successfully combines Ibanez's original ideas with its unique appearance. Attaching the tremolo arm The tremolo arm can be inserted and removed easily. Be sure to insert the tremolo arm into the arm socket (Fig. 1 A) and push down firmly until the arm snaps into place. [. . . ] To maximize performance, set the tremolo so that it is approximately parallel to the surface of the guitar body. To adjust the angle of the tremolo, turn the spring adjustment knob (Fig. If the tremolo is tilted forward while the guitar is tuned correctly, turn the spring adjustment knob clockwise to tighten the spring. If the tremolo is tilted backward, turn the spring adjustment knob counterclockwise to loosen the spring. When adjusting the tremolo angle in the floating state, the balance between the tension of the strings and the tension of the tremolo springs changes each time the tension of the spring is adjusted. Make adjustments by tuning the strings repeatedly.
