how old is it?
i had the same problem with my S540 the studs were too old as my guitar was about 7 years old and the studs were still the originals.
i know the studs on the guitars with the lo trs are diffeent
but try getting new sdtuds....or it coupld possibly a lose locking nut.....check that
but for further setup
goto www.jemsite.com and look at the tech section.....about tuning a guitar...that helped me alot

jonathan,
Buy an RG with the Edge tremolo. Those are the best locking tremolo you can buy. Most higher end models come equiped with Edge's.

Too many trems on Ibanezes over the years! Their current catalog lists: Lo Pro Edge, Edge, lo trs, lo trs II. To the uninitiated they all look the same. That's one thing that scares me off, because I know that a bad trem can make a good guitar a nightmare (at least, that's what Fender lovers say J.)

Anybody care to give us tremolo-dolts a lesson on the differences/advantages?

The only names you need to remember when it comes to tremolos are the Edge and Lo Pro Edge. These trems are fantastic!!!

Sounds simple. What's the difference between the 2?

well the difference between the two is that
the edge bridge is like your regular floyd rose....but id say about 1,000,000 times better
the actual bridge itself is a molded white metal
and it is possibly the most stable floyd bridge available.
the lo pro edge is a similar version it has a molded white metal chassis as well but this one is flat as in it doesnt have the same elevation as the edge.....it also has a small allen screw that goes into the back of the saddel ionstead of having a long one that passes through the bridge and goes into the back of the saddel

if you have more questions about anything ask
email me at philsteed@sympatico.ca
i have diagrams of the edge and lo pro edge i can send you..if they way i explained it doesnt make sence...i have a habbit of confusing people

the low pro edge actually has a place to rest your palm without causing slight vabrato on the strings.
