Frequently Asked Questions
The Edge is generally smoother and more stable than a traditional Floyd Rose, offering a more controlled tremolo experience, though it might not have the extreme dive-bomb capabilities.
The 18mm/20mm thickness at the 1st and 12th frets puts it in a medium-thin range; while not the slimmest neck Ibanez offers, it's generally comfortable and playable for a wide range of hand sizes.
It allows for coil-splitting and various pickup combinations, expanding tonal possibilities, but the added complexity might require some experimentation to fully utilize.
