I think this is long overdue so it's about time I share it here. For those of you who asked me how I determine the correct tilt angle of the Ibanez Edge bridge, do refer to the rectangular block at the side of the bridge flap. In this case it's the bass side. As you can see above, after tuning up, the bridge is a little slack & if left unattended, it would mean you have lesser cavity space for an upward whammy action. From this picture, we can see that the block was not sitting parallel to the body surface. If the guitar is already in tune, you need to adjust the spring tension at the rear to balance things up & re-tune the instrument. This may take several attempts.
Once you got that settled, the block is now parallel to the body surface & that's the optimum position as seen here. Easy peazy, lemon squeazy as the kids would say in school.

Short and sweet. better than a 10-20 mins vid on yt which explain so difficultly. Reading is much faster and easier to understand, at least for me.👍
Thank you for dropping by, my friend 👍🏾
on slightly different subject, does Ibanez Edge compatible with "The Key" Floyd Rose intonation device?
@Ijau - Have not tried this, bro but Ibanez has their own version of this intonation tool. The edge where the fine tuners are located are different for both models. The original FR has a straight platform, Ibanez's Edge version is angled.
