Taas kun puheeksi tuli tuo seikka, niin onko Edge Pron ja Lo Pro Edgen vireessä pysymisessä oikeasti jotain kuuluvaa eroa? Itselläni on vuoden 2003 jem7vwh jossa siis Edge Pro. Kyllä se vireen pitää.
 
No tässä suora lainaus Rich Harrisilta:
 
With a bean-counters brilliance the factory decided to downgrade the locking stud system they've been using since 1985 on their Edge and Lo Pro equipped guitars to the cheaper non locking stud the cheaper Korean models have always had. This is the best mod I could come up with to add the locking studs to the Edge Pro equipped guitars, short of pulling the stud inserts and putting a set of Lo Pro inserts in, which is  unnecessary with this set screw mod. This mod will also work on the Edge Pro II bridge as for the first time the MIJ and MIK trems both use the same inferior studs.
 
Why do you want locking studs? A stud that's allowed to move will not always return to the exact spot causing tuning to be slightly out after whammy use. Any movement in a double locking system is a death blow to stability. A nut that's walking whacks tuning out a specific way, pull-up it returns flat, dive it returns sharp, very peculiar and easy to diagnose. Very erratic return is usually from an unstable pivot point. The first thing I check on used guitars that have horrid return is the stud inserts (the stud's anchors that are press fit into the wood) because when they oval the wood and get loose they will never return to the same spot between dive and pull-up stresses. This causes super erratic swings in pitch with no really stable or even predictable return, It's the unpredictability that points directly to an unstable pivot. Loose studs work on the same principle, even though it effects tuning to a smaller degree, it does have an effect. Nothing beats a stable pivot point to give you absolutely predictable trem return. Ironically the loosening of these inserts in older guitars is largely attributed to non locked studs that have wiggled back and forth enough it's caused the insert to oval the wood (although I have had a New Old Stock LNG Jem with maybe an hour of total play time that had significantly oval'd inserts just from sitting in a case for 15 years. Basswood is a soft wood and susceptible).
 
Miksi ottaa ei lukittavat tukipaalut, kun lukittavat kerran pitävät paremmin vireen (oli ero sitten miten pieni tahansa).
