No, they don't. Its the only trem they do not sell as a spare so people can't order them and use them in their own guitars - lord only knows what happens if one breaks on a 1620 or 2027 and it needs to be replaced.

Ibanez I believe are the only ppeople to have made a piezo Floyd, so they keep a tight hold on the technology.

It's a good project! The piezo bridge on a 2027 is mental, wires everywhere, but it is cool

Basically, you have to run the wires through the baseplate, and connect them on the trem block, and then tape it (way it's done on 2027) then a braided wire runs from that into the trem cavity. You'll need plenty of give one it to make sure trem abuse doesn't pull it out, that and allowing for the trem to be popped of if required.

Neat project though!

they are concentrating on this " floyd saddle " right now




i'm a bit sad

FWIW, you can't retrofit an OFR into an Edge Pro guitar without serious modifications, but I believe you can put an OFR in basically any Edge, Lo-Pro Edge, or Lo-TRS II -equipped guitar.

Unhappy
i hope that they at least try to build something that's
compatible with other bridges
so that i have to exchange only the saddle

i never wanted to change my bridge.......

however
on the italian ibanez site
there is a six string double edge guitar

maybe they will release a sevenstring.......
maybe

i'm sad

Ug...flashbacks to Jemsite. I remember the hundreds of threads on how to replace the trems in cheap RGs and the JEM555 with better quality trems.

I also remember when we'd always gang up and let people know that the main reason (aside from the Lo-TRS-7) that they'd want a 762x instead of a 742x was that you'd have to trim the pickup ears or route the guitar if you wanted to put new pickups in the 742x, whereas the 762x was a direct retrofit for DiMarzio pickups.

hide has a spectacular aura about
Poor my luthier! He calls that guitar consumism: they make you better choose to buy another one than pay for a mod to improve yours!

Anyway, if it's all for the money, what use is for Ibanez to put piezos (in particular, 7 string piezo) in guitars they plan to discontinue?

OK, I understand they wanted to test the wasters with "sample" models, but hey, now they know there's plenty of us wanting it , coming out with at least a new piezoed-7 would be a HUGE deal imho!

As far as I know many 7stringers are going the ebmm way for this reason..
