Ibanez: RG821 bridge

Ibanez's RG821 features the new Tight End R bridge. It's not a very refreshing manifestation since the Tight End bridge was already in production prior to this version. The design, as you can see, is a little too much in terms of the physical outline, the Tight End was a simple unit. So what's the point, really?

The Tight End R emulates the outline of the Edge bridge- trace the outline & compare the similarities. This way, the player who is accustomed to the Edge, will feel at home with this guitar. The common feedback from players who prefer a non-whammy bridge in their Ibanez guitars is that it feels different from the standard whammy bridge version. No excuses now, eh?

It seems that the dead end bridge really does help improves the sustain of the notes.

That's quite subjective because I own other Ibanez guitars with whammy bridges which are superb in terms of sustain, the fixed bridge is not a sure formula
