I hate the bars for the 'edge' trem. They suck. They flop around when the washers wear out, and there isn't enough Teflon tape in the world to make them right. Older Floyds are not immune from this malady, either. The nut that is supposed to hold the bar tightly into the washers loosens and is a pain in the ass to tighten properly (dangerous to the finish to tighten improperly). I suggest a retrofit Floyd Rose arm assembly from Allparts. It has a pop-in arm with a tension adjustment nut. This upgrade for the 'edge' requires a slight modification to the barrel portion (cutting in half to fit the plate) and a slight reaming of the plate itself, but it is rock-solid and tension adjustable. My vote for cheapest, best upgrade for the FR and its derivatives.   Scott Posted on Friday, October 08, 2004 - 11:04 am:    Chris, Am I confused or are you looking for the claw arm springs? The Edge tremolo requires no springs on the outside, unless there is one on the inside that I'm not awaire of. Which there probably is, I don't know enough about the tremolo system... Challenger: Some of us like our tremolo bars to flop around. That's why I like an older Edge tremolo, I like to grab the bar, then when I'm done I want it to go away with no effort of my own. Edges are great for that. But if you want a stiffer one, try clear fingernail polish, not too much, but just a little to cover the washers. That will stiffen it up right away...   Chris Posted on Friday, October 08, 2004 - 11:04 am:    ok ok......there is this little clip..sorry i said spring for lack of a better word but its a clip i have all Edge trems and none of the flop except this one if i had the clip it wouldnt flop ok on the barrel where the trem arm goes inside the actual bridge there is a hole and there is a little clip that screws to the end of the barrel and the clips main part goes inised the barrel through the little hole just take off the trem plate on the back and look at the barrel if you see the screw on the barrel there should be a little clip if you bend it a bit it will tighten and it wont flop around and in no way am i going to modify my bridges i just need the little clip but thanks for the info Challenger i have a picture of the clip if you guys need it to see what im talking about Chris
