those 2 springs naren, will go just as tight as 5 normal springs. theyre significanlty shorter (by like 30%) and can be stretched to a total lenght LONGER than a normal trem spring gets stretched. You have nothing to worry about. the 2 in my S7320 got it to take 11-72s in B and i was only about 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the travel
Goddamn fuckin' Edge-Zero
This tremolo annoys the fuck out of me. :lol: When it's in tune, it stays in tune. But good luck getting it in tune. On my RG1527, I have 5 tremolo springs in and the screws screwed back as far as they'll go. Because of that, I can tune very easily with very little effect on the other strings. But the way the Edge-Zero works, it only has enough slots for 2 tremolo springs, so it's impossible to put in 3 or 4 or 5.
It seems to take hours to get the thing in tune. Because if you move the fine tuner a tenth of a centimeter, every single other string's tuning changes like 10 cents. If I can't find a way to remedy this, I would never consider playing this thing live because it would take an infinity to tune the damn thing up.
I would consider locking the tremolo down since I never actually use the trem for anything, but the area inbetween seems smaller on the Edge-Zero. So I can't think of anything that would be the right size to fit snugly in there. Also, I'm not sure if that would really fix the problem or not.
Any suggestions on making tuning easy? I considering removing the ZR system before I realized that then I would have a fully floating trem with only two springs which would be pretty horrific.

with the zr unit thing taken out, just running normally yes.You mean as a floating trem?
Because it doesn't take anything at all with the ZR system enabled and I have the thing cranked back 100% of the way away from the bridge.
if you want to have the zr functionality, set it up how you like it with the ZR out, slap in the ZR, and loosen the trem just a touce to bring it back to flat.Yes, but Max was 100% right. I don't need to block it. Beforehand, I would just barely change the tuning on one string and the tunings on all the other strings would change dramatically. With the ZR out of the way (and with the strings still screwed as far back into the body as they go), I can tune strings somewhat significantly with almost no effect on the other strings.
I'm extremely happy now because the entire feel transformed into exactly how my 5-springs-cranked-to-the-max RG1527 does (which is the result of 5 years of owning the guitar and tweaking the tremolo).
