It came today.
I had fun for about 5 minutes before I decided I needed to put my heavier strings on and get down to some C tuning. I confess, I tried to figure it out on my own for about 2 hours before hunting down uni's howto (which made it a 30 minute job
)
She feels and sounds sooo pretty. (Much better than my RG170.)
Time to lay down some tracks for this Theatre of Disease project thingy.

The pickups are INF1 and INF2 and the trem is EDGE III.

Edge III is not a very good trem. It's usable, but it can be a pain in the dick, and not work good sometimes. I have one.

True. Tighten all bolts and screws regurlarly. And keep an eye on the knife edges. The main reason those trems do not return correctly is the use of softer metal on the base plate. This wears out quickly. The knife edges grind into the studs thus getting damaged. Clean them up with a very fine sandpaper or steel wool. And do the same with the studs.
