EDGE TREMOLO ARM INFO
The tremolo arm can be inserted and
removed very easily.
Insert the tremolo arm into the arm
socket and firmly
push down until the arm snaps into place
Note: Both
bushings should be completely hidden. To remove the
tremolo
arm, firmly hold the arm at the break over point (bend)
and pull up until
the arm is released.
 LO-PRO EDGE/ EDGE Tremolo Arm Torque.
The rotation torque of the arm can be adjusted
by changing the number of bushings on the arm.
To reduce the torque, remove one bushing
on the lower side. To further reduce the torque,
remove both bushings.
*You may notice that after
some time it may be impossible
to secure the arm even when both bushing are in place.
If this happens, replace the arm bushings with new ones.
1. To replace the bushings,
remove the bushings
by spreading (opening) the bushing until it is
removed.Open the new bushings at the split section
and snap them into place on the tremolo arm.

Tremolo Angle Adjustment
 The tremolo system should sit parallel to
the
surface of the guitar body, as shown in the
illustration. It is sometime necessary to adjust
the tremolo angle when new strings, different
string gauges or different tunings are used.
 1. Remove the tremolo cavity cover
plate
from the back of the body.
2. Using a Phillips
head screw driver, turn
the Spring tension adjustment screw
and adjust the length of the spring.
3. Retune the
guitar to the proper pitch
and check the angle.
ADJUSTING THE STRING HEIGHT
 1. The height adjustment
of the tremolo
can be set by using the two 4mm
adjustment screws (2) on eitherside
of the tremolo unit.
Note: the height adjustment screws
are
locked internally by the Stud lock screw (3).
Always loosen the Stud lock screws
counter clockwise with a 1 .5mm allen
wrench before adjusting the string height.
2. Raise or lower the tremolo
to the desired
string height using a 4mm allen wrench.
3. Tighten the Stud lock screw

Low
Pro and Edge String Change
Note: For ease in retuning, it is recommended
that one string at a time be changed and tuned.
1. Loosen the Pressure pad
lock screws on the TOPLOK III with a 3mm
wrench. Loosen the string by turning the tuner and then
remove the string.
2. Loosen the string stopper
screw (8) by using a 3mm allen wrench remove
the string from the saddle.
3. Cut off the ball end of
the new string above the string winding and insert
the end of the string in between the main saddle and
the String holder block
4. Tighten the String stopper
Screw.
5. Wind the string around the
tuning machine and tune to pitch
6. After changing the desired
strings retune all the strings and tighten the
TOPLOK III Pressure pad screws
INTONATION
*Intonation adjustment is usually
necessary when new strings are fitted
(it can also be affected by the angle of the tremolo
unit).
Adjusting the intonation is performed
by moving the individual string saddles
forward or backward. To check the intonation: Use an
electronic tuner and
tune the guitar to a standard pitch.
Note: All Ibanez guitars use A=44OHz
for a standard pitch.
Play the harmonic at the 12th fret,
compare it to the fretted note at the 12th fret,
these notes should read the same on the tuner.
*Before adjusting the intonation,
first determine the direction that the saddle
needs to be moved.
Note: If the 12th fret harmonic pitch
is lower than the fretted note, the saddle needs
to be moved back. If the 12th fret harmonic is higher
than the fretted note,
the saddle needs to be moved forward.
1. Loosen the Pressure pad
screws on the TOPLOK Ill with a 3 mm
allen wrench and loosen the string to be adjusted.
2. Loosen the Saddle lack down
screw 9 on the saddle to be adjusted
with a 2mm allen wrench.
Note: Only loosen the screw enough to
move the saddle.
3. Adjust the saddle forward
or backward to the proper position and tighten
the Saddlelock down screw 9.
*On the bass plate there are two
holes for each Saddle lock down screw. The purpose
of this is to accommodate for different tunings or different
gauges of strings.
4. Tune the guitar to pitch
and recheck the intonation. If the intonation is still
not correct repeat steps 1, 2 and 3.
5. When the guitar is properly
adjusted, tighten the TOPLOKIll Pressure pad lack screws.
